Visual Narratives of Indian

Visual Narratives of Indian
Vidya Dehejia

This course proposes the existence of distinct modes of visual narration used by India's artists to present stories visually, both in the medium of relief sculpture, and that of watercolors on paper or plastered walls. The first half of the course is devoted to the rich corpus of Buddhist narrative reliefs, while the second half considers the relationship of text and image in the manuscript tradition of India.
