Synopsis
Art and Life in Bangladesh presents the country, its landscape and history, its artists and their work. Glassie arrays the potter's works - from useful pots to radiant images of the Hindi deities - and brings us into the company of potters who are poets, historians, and philosophers. The book ascends to the splendid spiritual explanation of art provided by the sculptor Haripada Pal. In conversation with the artists who work the clay, Glassie learned their idea of art, and he applies it to other media, to weaving and shipbuilding, to painting, engraving, and brass casting. The book expands into a comprehensive view of creation in Bangladesh, and it forms an elegant meditation on life and work and the importance of art.

Reviews
The premier English-language academic folklorist of our time, Glassie (Indiana Univ.) is a world figure, having written magisterially on American, Irish, and Turkish folklore. Now he writes on yet another part of the world. Typically, he constructs a composite portrait of a land, its resources, and, most important to him, its artists. He introduces individual folk artists, universalizing them beyond their particular environment. Though Bangladesh may seem remote to most Americans, Glassie's gift is his ability to demonstrate to the reader how the interplay of traditional aesthetics and creativity is comprehensible to an outsider. His exquisite prose style in combination with hundreds of his own photographs combine to make this book accessible to academic and general audiences. Highly recommended.?David S.
