An illustrated book exhibition “The many-sided India” runs in the Fine arts reading room (306) from 1 to 30 October.
The Indian culture is among the most ancient and highly developed in the world. The fine arts of India have made a valuable contribution to the world treasury of culture. The great artistic heritage represented by a multitude of outstanding monuments of architecture, sculpture and painting is a striking evidence of its wealth.
The Indian art is characterized by the originality and depth of content, brightness and richness of images, variety of forms, styles, colors and shades. This amazing combination of diversity and integrity is one of the very important features of the artistic culture of the peoples of India, which gives it a special attractive force. The strong, centuries-old traditions, which were formed in one of the earliest cradles of human civilization, unite the multi-sided and complex India in a single monolithic whole.
The offered exhibition reflects the richness of artistic images and helps to understand the characteristics of the Indian art. The exhibits allow you to plunge into the depths of centuries, into the historical past of the material culture of India, to get acquainted with its philosophy and mythology, and also to come into contact with the very life of the Indian people, with their feelings. The exhibition shows albums with color photographic reproductions of the most important monuments of architecture, sculpture and painting, ancient miniatures and works of jewelry art.
One of the exhibition sections is called "India in the Russian and Soviet fine arts". Many artists had visited this country and then created works inspired by Indian themes and subjects. A special place in the exposition is given to the works of one of the largest Russian realistic artists V. Vereshchagin, among which the most significant is the reproduction of the image of the Taj Mahal, the famous architectural monument.
Very interesting are the album Maharaji with historical photographs of Indian royal dynasties, as well as the book-album Eternal India written by Indira Gandhi.
About 60 documents are on display: encyclopedias, books, albums, guidebooks, articles, as well as reproductions and cards.
