HINDU VIEW OF ART.
Comparison With The European System.
The author of "The Hindu View of Art," Mr. Mulk Raj Anand. claims that this is the first book to present the general Hindu attitude to art compar-] able with the published introduc- tions to various European sys- tems of aesthetics.
He divides it into three parts -first, an outline of religious and philosophical conceptions; second, aesthetic considerations; and last, the principles of artistic practice.
It is well written and reliable, and its value as a comprehensive treatise is increased by the addi-] tion of a chronological list and a bibliography, If there be cause for criticism, it is that the author is too rigidly theoretical.
He might have made his pointa more forcible had he illustrated. them with references to actual works of art. Except in two or three instances, the sixteen plates seem to have little connec- tion with the text.
