Paperback. Condition: New. Sarnath has long been regarded as the place where the Buddha preached his first sermon and established the Buddhist monastic order. Excavations at Sarnath have yielded the foundations of temples and monastic dwellings, two Buddhist reliquary mounds (stupas), and some of the most important sculptures in… the history of Indian art. This volume offers the first critical examination of the historic site.Frederick M. Asher provides a longue duree (long-term) analysis of Sarnath-including the plunder, excavation, and display ofantiquities and the Archaeological Survey of India's presentation-and considers what lies beyond the fenced-in excavated area. His analytical history of Sarnath's architectural and sculptural remains contains a significant study of the site's sculptures, their uneven production, and their global distribution. Asher also examines modern Sarnath, which is a living establishment replete with new temples and monasteries that constitute a Buddhist presence on the outskirts of Varanasi, the most sacred Hindu city.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. In this seminal art-historical study, Frederick Asher challenges the traditional view that there was a "dark age" in Eastern Indian art between the Gupta and Pala periods. Focusing on Bihar, West Bengal, and Bangladesh, Asher documents the artistic continuity that bridged these two great…eras. The volume provides: The "Transition" Period: A detailed look at the 6th-8th centuries, proving that the distinct "Pala Style" did not emerge in a vacuum but evolved from late Gupta precedents. Field Research: Based on extensive site visits, the book catalogs sculptures from major centers like Bodh Gaya and Nalanda, as well as lesser-known village sites. Visual Documentation: Illustrated with over 250 black-and-white plates, many of which were the first published images of these specific sculptures. This is the original prinitj Condition is good. Interior is clean and unmarked; the dust jacket has some tears.

Paperback. Condition: New. The Art of Eastern India, 300-800 was first published in 1980. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.Though scholars have extensive knowledge of the ar…t that flourished during Pala rule in Eastern India (ca. 800-1200), little is known about Eastern Indian art during the preceding 500 years. This half-millennium includes the period of the Gupta dynasty and the two centuries that bridge Gupta and Pala rule, when no single dynasty long maintained control of Eastern India. In this study, Frederick M. Asher challenges arthistorical assumptions about Pala art - that it is a new school virtually without links to earlier art 00 by demonstrating that sculpture during the Gupta period and the subsequent three centuries evolved along lines that connect it with Pala art. In so doing, he draws attention to important sculptures, most of them never previously studied, that tell us not only about an unexplored period in Indian art but also about broader aspects of the cultural history and geography of Eastern India. Asher's work is based on field research in Bihar, West Bengal, and Bangladesh. There he gave special attention to the sites of once-flourishing Buddhist monasteries and to Hindu images still worshipped in village India. The author's photographs of the bronze, terra cotta, and stone sculptures, and his detailed text, provide a virtual catalogue raisonne of the known works of the period. Asher's analyses of the images and his attributions of dates to them are based upon close attention to artistic style and iconography, and the study of dynastic and social history, contemporary travelers' reports, and religious history. Drawing together these diverse strands of information, he describes the evolution of art forms over a long period in which there was little apparent historic unity. John M. Rosenfield, professor of art history at Harvard University and author of The Art of the Kushans, says, of The Art of Eastern India,"The scholarship is scrupulously detailed and careful . . . [The book] is in the finest tradition of classical scholarship, and will be consulted or several generations.".
