Beasts of India

Edited by Gita Wolf and Kanchana Arni

Here are India's best-known beasts - the elephant, the tiger, the cow, the deer, the snake, the peacock ...

Rendered by some of the finest tribal and folk artists in India, Beasts of India is a menagerie of images that brings together a range of vibrant traditions. Each art form imagines and represents the beast distinctly, making this a rich and unique introduction to Indian folk and tribal art. Beasts of India is prefaced by and essay on traditional Indian art, and each book comes with a set of four frameable prints. Screenprinted on handmade paper, this book is a rare treat for the art collector, as well as a unique gift book.
