The Basis For Artistic And Industrial Revival In India (1912)

By Ernest Binfield Havell

Book Overview

The Basis For Artistic And Industrial Revival In India is a book written by Ernest Binfield Havell and published in 1912. The book explores the relationship between art and industry in India, arguing that the two are intrinsically linked and that the revival of traditional Indian art forms could lead to a resurgence of the country's industrial economy.Havell, an art historian and curator, was deeply influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and the idea that art and design should be integrated into everyday life. In the book, he discusses the decline of traditional Indian art forms under British colonial rule and the need for a revival of these forms in order to reinvigorate the country's economy and cultural identity.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of Indian art, the influence of Western art on Indian traditions, and the role of art in society. Havell argues that traditional Indian art forms, such as textiles, ceramics, and metalwork, are not only beautiful but also practical and functional, and that their revival could lead to a new era of economic growth and cultural pride.Overall, The Basis For Artistic And Industrial Revival In India is a seminal work in the history of Indian art and design, and a testament to the power of art to shape society and drive economic development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
