The art and architecture of India is rooted in its history, culture, and religion. The first two essays in the present volume bring to the fore the folk art of Kalamkari, and the architectural wonder of the stepwells--both part of the ancient heritage, and the third piece dwells on the spectacular art and peculiar habits of the most discussed and most popular contemporary Indian painter, Maqbool Fida Hussain. The first two essays have earlier been published in an online journal, Chitrolekha. Due acknowledgement has been noted at the end of each essay and they are included here with due permission of the editors. I have added a glossary to help readers understand the names of typical Indian ingredients used in the preparation of a Kalamkari painting. Kalamkari or Qalamkari is a type of hand-painted or block-printed cotton textile, produced in parts of India. The word is derived from the Persian words ghalam (pen) and kari (craftmanship), meaning drawing with a pen. Only natural dyes are used in Kalamkari and involves seventeen painstaking steps. This intricate art has been practiced by many families in Andhra Pradesh and over the generations has constituted their livelihood. Admired for its excellent craftsmanship the journey of Kalamkari curiously began with trade in Indian spices. Subsequently merchants and traders from around the world used Indian textiles, the majority of which were kalamkari, as a currency in the Spice Trade. With the passage of time Indian textiles began to be seen as luxury items in themselves, and a variety of textiles and textile-related products found an appreciative market throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.Step wells are wells or ponds in which the water is reached by descending a set of steps. Rock-cut stepwells in India date from 200-400 AD. Gradually they began to be constructed. Step wells developed mainly to cope with seasonal fluctuations in water availability. Deep trenches were dug into the earth for dependable, year-round groundwater, their walls were lined with blocks of stone without mortar, and stairs were built leading down to the water. The construction of stepwells was primarily utilitarian but owing to the significant architectural embellishments on their walls they have today acquired the status of interesting monuments. In olden times stepwells also served as leisure spots, place for social gatherings and religious ceremonies where women prayed and offered gifts to the goddess of the well for her blessings.The last essay describes the spectacular art and mildly eccentric habits of the Indian painter, Maqbool Fida Hussain. With his free-flowing, silvery white beard and hair, dressed in impeccably tailored, expensive Hermes suit, an oversized paintbrush 'baton' in hand, walking barefoot M.F. Husain cut a most distinctive figure full of energy and humour. His striking ascetic looks, simple, soft-spoken manner commanded immediate attention and respect. He had a penchant for philosophy, was deeply knowledgeable of, and loved art in all its forms and had several writers and poets as his friends. He always remained in the headlines as much because of his peculiar habits as for his unique art. Hussain stopped wearing footwear in 1974 after walking in the funeral procession of his friend, Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh, the well known Hindi poet and maintained it till the very end.

Reflections on the chords and discords inherent in the relationship between tradition and modernism. Written between the early 1960s and the mid-1970s, the articles and lectures collected in Moving Focus reflect on some of the major concerns of the practicing artist and scholar of modern Indian art: tradition and modernism, the question of the image, and the use of art criticism. The collection also includes essays on the work of Rabindranath Tagore, Abanindranath Tagore, Binodebehari Mukherjee, Ramkinker Baij, and Amrita Sher-Gil. Together, they deal with the focal changes taking place in the contemporary art situation--a period of great significance in terms of cultural development, just about a decade and a half after India's hard-won Independence--and seek to put them in perspective. The analytical essays of K. G. Subramanyan, one of India's most celebrated artists, remain as relevant and useful today as they were when this collection first appeared decades ago, and are perfectly suited to introducing the non-specialist to Indian modernism and its global concerns. Subramanyan played a pivotal role in shaping India's artistic identity after Independence. Mani-da, as he was fondly called, seamlessly blended elements of modernism with folk expression in his works, spanning paintings, murals, sculptures, prints, set designs, and toys. Beyond his visual artistry, his writings have laid a solid foundation for understanding the demands of art on the individual. In the year of his centenary, Seagull is proud to publish his writings in special new editions.
