Newar Art: Nepalese Art During the Malla Period

Anne Vergati (Author) Alexander W. Macdonald (Author)

Synopsis

Visitors to the Valley of Kathmandu and students of Nepalese art and culture have long been impressed by the distinctive and complex art and architecture. In most cases it is the creation of the original inhabitants of the valley, the Newars. Newar craftsmen worked in Tibet and in China and were much influenced by Indian traditions. This survey is confined to the Malla period (1200-1768) but with the continuing survival of this remarkable society and culture. The book is an attempt to place Newar art in its social and cultural context rather than to describe and analyse individual Newar art works.
