The Mystery of Art

by D.K. Chandra

The Mystery of Art lets the forms of art tell their own tale. Instead of analyzing the art expressions this narrative work invites the reader to re-discover the functions of art. The observation of the art-scenes starts with the present and winds its way backward through time and history. In the course of this journey the different art-expressions reveal themselves in a novel light. Born in Switzerland (1933) there when yet very young D.K. Chandra learnt to appreciate the beauty of nature. After the advent of India`s independence she came to India and observed the various art-expressions with a keen attention and a deep appreciation. Thanks to her wide interests, she developed a global approach to art that earned her the friendship and trust of Rukmini Devi.
