Hindu Art

Summary: Excellent treatment of Hindu Art
Review: As the title makes clear, this book is dedicated exclusively to Hindu art - a tradition you don't hear too much about but that is extremely rewarding. It contains wonderful color reproductions and insightful text which centers more around major deities and their art rather than a linear history (although there is some of this). The book is especially good at contextualizing the subject - explaining the art's meanings and cultural significance.
