Review: Who's Who of Indian Art World in the 2020s. A keeper. - This compact WHO'S WHO offers an engaging introduction to the contemporary Indian art scene, inviting readers to explore further the artists who capture their interest. It provides glimpses into a range of compelling and often unconventional works—including surrealist expressions such as those by Gopikrishna. Review: Much needed volume on Modern Indian Art. - As Prof.B.N.Goswami's "The Spirit of Indian Painting" dealt only with the period upto 1900, this book covering later Modern Indian Art is especially welcome. However one wishes that the artworks themselves were full page & the text shorter. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #30,193 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #29 in Antiques & Collectables (Books) #68 in Theory & Criticism #147 in Handicrafts, Decorative Arts & Crafts | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 25 Reviews | ## Images ![The Big Book of Indian Art: An Illustrated History of Indian Art from Its Origins to the Present Day - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UacbmoQSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who's Who of Indian Art World in the 2020s. A keeper. *by S***. on 25 March 2025* This compact WHO'S WHO offers an engaging introduction to the contemporary Indian art scene, inviting readers to explore further the artists who capture their interest. It provides glimpses into a range of compelling and often unconventional works—including surrealist expressions such as those by Gopikrishna. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much needed volume on Modern Indian Art. *by R***R on 28 March 2025* As Prof.B.N.Goswami's "The Spirit of Indian Painting" dealt only with the period upto 1900, this book covering later Modern Indian Art is especially welcome. However one wishes that the artworks themselves were full page & the text shorter. ### ⭐ Misleading title & descriptor *by T***A on 22 September 2024* This book, rather than being "an illustrated history of Indian art", is simply a compilation of short one-page biographies of Indian artists. There is only one artwork (barely half a page) per artist depicted. Extremely misleading and disappointing. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Big Book of Indian Art: An Illustrated History of Indian Art from Its Origins to the Present Day - The Golden Road : How Ancient India Transformed the World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/647357056-the-big-book-of-indian-art-an-illustrated-history-indian](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/647357056-the-big-book-of-indian-art-an-illustrated-history-indian) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
