註釋Beginning as early as the third millennium B.C., Indian artists have created images of breathtaking quality and power. Both in India and the Himalayas, images were chiefly intended to communicate the presence and the powers of divinity. The nearly 60 objects exhibited for the Casa Asia (Barcelona) inaugural exhibition are reproduced in color in this catalogue, and represent the major schools and the finest aesthetic traditions in Indian and Himalayan art. The catalogue includes two essays that supply a brief introduction to Indian sculpture on the one hand, and Nepalese and Tibetan artwork (sculpture, paintings, book covers) on the other.
