This is a tribute to the scholarship of the distinguished art historian B N Goswamy, whose critical influence opened up new ways of thinking about Indian painting. Forty major scholars from South Asia, America, Australia and Europe write in his honour, about pictures from a large geographical area and huge chronological span -- from Ajanta to present times. In their work, Indian Painting showcases leading trends and new research initiatives, ultimately inspired by B N Goswamy's thinking. These authors break new ground and chart new paths. They also bring to attention a number of previously unpublished visual materials, adding a refreshing dimension to the already vibrant study of Indian painting. Even as this volume coheres around the intellectual innovations of one man, it celebrates the diversity of South Asia's traditions and history.
