Synopsis
Village of Painters profiles the West Bengali village of Naya, a small agricultural outpost that is home to a unique caste of itinerant scroll painters. The Patuas of West Bengal are a traditional artisan caste specializing in the production of painted narrative scrolls and the performance of songs to accompany their unrolling. These artisans have been plying their trade in this region of India at least since the thirteenth century and possibly earlier. The book features a wide range of contemporary scrolls and examines how their makers are keeping the art vibrantly alive in the rapidly changing cultural landscape of West Bengal., Highlights the state's rich cultural and natural landscapes and attractions with fifty-seven photographs in a week-at-a-glance format.

- r***6 (28)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent customer experience. All ordered items match the displayed and described condition. Shipping costs were acceptable and the shipping time matched the estimate that was communicated. Info through Track package was perfect. The books came neatly and solidly pacakged in a box. Only flaw was the delivery service that left the parcel unattended at my door, rather then handing it to neighbours or drop it off at a service point. But very positive overall, thanks!
