Kanha Priya: Romantic Moments in Poetry and Painting

 
Harsha V Dehejia (Author) Vijay Sharma (Author)
Synopsis In this portfolio we present compositions by contemporary artists. Led by Vijay Sharma of Chamba, who is a celebrated master artist, these artists from Rajasthan and Himachal have kept alive the traditions of miniature painting that originated in the ateliers of Rajput courts many centuries ago. It is as if the energy and inspiration of masters such as Sahibdin and Manohar, Nainsukh and Ranhja flows through their kalam, keeping alive a beautiful tradition of transforming kavya into chitra, so that the shringara rasa of Krishna is not only felt but seen, is not only contained in the throbbing of the heart but equally in the pleasure of the discerning eye.
