INDIAN SCULPTURE — Towards the Rebirth of Aesthetics:
Carmel Berkson; Abhinav Publications, E-37, Hauz Khas, New Delhi-110016. Rs. 750.
In the post-modern world where ‘borrowings’ are acceptable and the concept of ‘global-local’ is commonplace, the suggestion that contemporary Indian sculptors should consider western influence an intrusion and look solely to indigenous tradition may seem incongruous. American-born, Mumbai-based sculptor, Carmel Berkson appears to take such a stand in ‘Indian Sculpture: Towards the Rebirth of Aesthetics.’ This book deal s with knowledge already made familiar through Berkson’s earlier publications; the difference in this instance is the attempt to situate her contemporary sculpture within the conventional idiom. The title is deceptive, as one would imagine a broader approach to the topic of sculptural aesthetics.
