Description
In this comprehensive work, Prof. S. S. Barlingay delves into the rich and complex development of the Indian aesthetic theory, particularly focusing on the rasa theory that originates from Bharatamuni's Natyashastra. The book examines how this foundational theory of beauty evolved through various authorities on art and aesthetics.
The volume is structured as follows:
- History of Indian Art: A careful survey of the relationship between art and beauty, as well as the perception of time and space in art.
- Rasa Theory: Prof. Barlingay traces the development of rasa from its beginnings in the Vedas and Upanishads to its elaborate presentation in Bharata's Natyashastra.
- Critical Study of Masters: The book further investigates the contributions of various scholars like Abhinavagupta, Bhattatauta, Kuntaka, Mammata, Vamana, and others, showing their perspectives and enriching the theory over time.
The work is a deep and critical understanding of Indian art theory with an emphasis on drama and poetics, making it essential reading for scholars and students interested in these areas of study.
