Reviews

'An exhaustive exploration of diverse topics discussed and an attempt to question the normative theory of painting on the basis of its practice as exemplified by contemporary traditional painters from diverse regions in India. The book is therefore highly recommended to students of Indian art, both as a guide to technical knowledge and as a penetrating study of the history of critical studies of Indian painting.' - Valdas Jaskunas, Acta Prientalia Vilnensia, 2007 Nardi's work represents an excellent starting point for those who have the intention of going further in their studies of material culture. - Valentina Gamberi, South Asia Research vol. 33 (2): 177-178
