内容説明・目次
内容説明
One of the finest private collections of Indian, Himalayan and Southeast Asian art in America is owned by James and Marilynn Alsdorf. This catalogue provides an opportunity for individuals other than scholars and specialists to view the works of art. Assembled over a period of several decades, the Alsdorf collection of over 450 objects covers a wide geographical and chronological range in South and Southeast Asian art. It includes sculpture, jewellery, paintings and architectural elements from India, Nepal, Tibet, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand and Cambodia and the objects range in date from a medallion from the second century BC to 20th-century sculpture. The author explains the major themes represented in the collection - Hindu gods, Buddhist and Jain subjects, goddesses, human figures, animals and ritual, ornamental and ceremonial objects - and discusses the style, history and iconography of individual pieces.
