Dr. Alka Pandey brings a brief history on “Indian Erotic Art”

From the earliest terracotta images of the Mother Goddess to tantric diagrams, from palm-leaf paintings to celluloid depictions, from the fine details of miniature paintings to modern art and advertising graffiti, this book covers ground that few have trod. Finding a striking continuity in the motifs used in erotic art, it grounds them in the principles that have shaped brush strokes and line drawings, curvatures and camera focuses down the centuries. The book also studies the currents of globalisation, and the impact of Western art on the modern artists. Something you can always expect from Dr. Alka Pandey regarding the definition of sensuality, and her “Indian Erotic Art is a prime example of the same. If there is one subject that has failed to come under a serious preview of Indian art, it is erotica. Grossly under-represented and misused -- as a source of titillation by some, as a marketing principle by others - erotica has finally found the focus it deserves with this book.
