The Alternate Nation of Abanidranath Tagore

undefined

He sought transcendence or individual autonomy on the one hand and communitarian inter-subjectivity on the other, which the author sees as the postcolonial legacy of his art. The author theorizes this modernity and communitarian inter-subjectivity as an alternate nationalism. This book is well-illustrated with many of Abanindranath's creations. It will be a rich reference work for students, researchers and academics from various subject areas such as arts and humanities, sociology and cultural studies, and precious for artists, art collectors, connoisseurs, museums and art galleries.
