Book Description
Publisher’s Note

We are constantly provoked to look beyond the confines of our own culture. This is because the lines dividing the continents are being smudged.

Sensitive artists reach out beyond the narrow walls of their immediate spheres. They want to learn more. To participate in more. To share more. They want to be.

Our international art world opens us out to a broader canvas, brimming with interactive ideas. We are thus able to give a fresh perspective on life to those who view our art.

Hence this issue of Lalit Kala Contemporary has tried to deal with the international artist and also tried to find the place of Indian art's contribution in this scenario.

Whenever man is at leisure, his mind can be rejuvenated from the daily fatigue through art. So this issue has also tried to focus on the relevance of and reverence for art criticism in today's world.

From this exchange of ideas and viewing of another country's masterpieces we will in India see our own Indian contemporary painting with enhanced insight.

The Henry Moore Sculptures were brought to India by Unilever and the British Council in 1987. Today in 2003 the same sculptures can be seen on the ground lobby of the Tate Modern in London; both country's viewers benefit at different decades, or centuries! Both sets of viewers can assess other art better and can view Indian contemporary art against this backdrop of what they have learnt from the showing.

Man seems to have more time to spend on the arts, and so needs to choose better. He needs to be guided and exposed to the trends of finer contemporary art available today.

EDITORIAL

The role of the Lalit Kala Contemporary in the public's reception of a work of art needs exploring.

In this issue we hope to throw light on a few finer parts of the international art world and find a place in the sun for Indian contemporary art in it.

We hope this issue will broaden one's views of contemporary art. To be enlightened and enriched by it. Above all to get the right perspective on our own attitude to our colleagues who are striving, so that our ego does not intrude. Rather strike a balance between art, the artist and one's self.

We hope the knowledge acquired from reading this issue will take the reader to appreciate and learn rather than disparage. Current art is supposed to restore man from his fatigue.

To be able to avail of natural goods that lie beyond the sphere of man's immediate needs and wants man needs leisure. There is an abundance of leisure today, and as Peiper notes" the ultimate of human happiness can be found in contemplation."

Perhaps the journal can help the attainment of this goal, perhaps it can help the seeking to attain in creating an awareness of the beauty we must seek.
