Another important book of
our library in digital form. It is a rare book titled “Kala Ke Praneta” by
Shachirani Gurtu in the Hindi language published by India Publishing House, Bombay
in 1969. A nicely composed volume of 862 pages covering Indian artists. The
author has tried to study the changes and current trends in Indian art at that
time. Her comprehensive coverage of artists from all over India giving due
importance to the eminent artists is appreciable. The book was written in 1969 when
computers were not in use by the authors for writing in India, the hard work of
the author is fascinating.
Importance for students: The
students of BFA 7th semester and other classes who want to read in
Hindi about Indian artists enlisted in their syllabi look for this book. For
their ease, I am sharing here the link for this book in pdf form.
