NATARAJA in ART, THOUGHT AND LITERATURE By DR. C. SIVARAMAMURTI
$80
Nataraja is truly 'The Lord of the Dance'; and how well this is enunciated by the former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, in her foreword.
"One cannot but marvel at the deep insight and sweep of the imagination of our Ancients to visualise cosmic energy in the form of Nataraja. The dance of Nataraja symbolises Truth and Beauty; Realisation and Dissolution; Force and Rhythm; Movement and Change; Time flowing and Time Still. The Nataraja is a representation of the Divine as Creator and Artist. The Nataraja has been chiselled, painted, described and sung about by artists without number down the centuries in India and in countries of our neighbourhood which share part of our culture.
Dr. Sivaramamurti has devoted a lifetime to iconography, and more especially to the Nataraja theme. His book promises to be a definitive work on the subject and a monument to Indian Scholarship.
First published 1974 by National Museum, New Delhi. Hard cover, cloth bound. Pages 417, Size 36.5 x 25cm. Colour plates 22, Black and White prints 374 and 20 line drawings. The condition is very good with some light browning due to age on the inside cover. The plastic flyleaf gives minimal protection and may be discarded without loss. This 1974 publication is classified on a number of other sites as 'Rare'.
