Governor Surjit Singh Barnala presenting the first copy of the book, ?Tanjore Paintings?, authored by Meena Muthiah, to Justice S Mohan, chairman of Kalakshetra Foundation on Sunday at a function in the city.
If you wanted to more about the growth and history of 'Tanjore Paintings,' Meena Muthiah's book which traces its growth from the Induc Valley civilization to the rule of the Mahrattas in Tanjore is the right choice for you.
Muthiah's book 'Tanjore Painting' was launched by Governor Surjit Singh Barnala at a function held in the city yesterday. He also said that the book had proved to be an interesting read, when he had browsed through it.
He found it quite illuminating to note the continuity of art in different parts of India ultimately culminating in the Tanjore paintings during the Vijayanagar empire.
He congratulated Meena Muthiah on bringing out such a wonderful book on Tanjore paintings. He said that the book dealt with almost all forms of art in the world like Chinese, Japanese, Egyptian, Greek, Roman and European art, particularly in the Renaissance period.
He further said that the second part of the book was virtually an encyclopedia on the subject.
Justice S Mohan, chairman of Kalakshetra Foundation, Y G Parthasarathy, dean and director of Padma Seshadri Group of Institutions, M A M Ramaswamy, pro-chancellor of Annamalai University and S V Chittibabu, former vice chancellor of Madurai Kamaraj University, were also present on the occasion.
