Speaking with Pictures: Folk Art and the Narrative Tradition in India - Critical Asian Studies
Roma Chatterji
This book explores visual narratives in folk art, particularly the scroll painting tradition of the patuas of West Bengal and the Pardhan-Gond style of Madhya Pradesh. It foregrounds folk art’s engagement with modernity by re-looking at its figurative modes and the ways in which they are embedded in mythic thought.
