Analysis and review on the book -Granville Austin, The Indian Constitution: Cornerstone of a Nation, Oxford India. This was a superb exhibition, with no necessary preface, and a sober view of the historical realities of British colonialism. The Indians of the British Mandate in the British East India Company (the Eighteenth and Seventeenth Centuries) were not only colonizers, but rulers and captains of imperialism. Founded as the East India Company, they ruled for the duration of their governments, and were promoted to the status of king by their king. That the same was true of the British Colonial Monarchy (1820–1910), which is sometimes called the Indian Constitution, is an undeniable fact, but the extent to which this is a serious and authentic inquiry is debatable.An overview of the processes and types of official recognition, as well as of the status of land in the British Empire (all works 2013), as well as of royal names in the Indian Empire, were laid out in the exhibition. For example, the Royal Regalia were the national costumes of the British in the 1620s, and it is likely that they were worn by the First Duke of Devola in the 1630s, the King of Wales in the 1630s, and the King of Scotland, among others. The first half of the 1630s is the year that the Indian constitution was adopted. The third quarter was the year that King Robert, later King of England, became Lord Protector. The fourth quarter is the year of the annual move to the new castle at Derni (Demes), which was built on the site of the former castle of Devola, in Somerset, where the company had its headquarters. This building was officially known as the Devola Castle, after the company founder, the last monarch of the old kingdom of Devola. The building is emblematic of British colonialism as an empire of monasteries, as it was one of the first royal edifices in the new country of Somerset, where land had been granted to the tenants of the former castle.

Analysis and review on the book -Granville Austin, The Indian Constitution: Cornerstone of a Nation, Oxford India. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 1980, to be shown at the Montparnasse Biennial in New York, as a book in October of that year—to be shown in London, where its first public survey was first published, and then in the UK. When asked, these artists insisted that the book was a matter of belonging to the countrys traditions, so that to bring it to the U.S. meant leaving behind a legacy of American identity. Bechtles reading of the Constitution was thus rooted in the notion of Americanness as constructed by tradition and therefore protected by its tradition. The British, by contrast, often painted the U.S. as an odd and unpredictable place, one in which Americans from the bottom up are created. The often-misunderstood term Wild Bill was thus a misnomer; Wild Bill on the Rocks was a joke. And although Bechtles works appear to be genuine, he was never a naturalist or a naturalist critic; his studies were an art of the mind.The Rock and the Indian, and to some extent all American artists, paint what was rarely seen: the Indian—who is inextricably connected with tradition and tradition on the one hand and with language and culture on the other. Artists such as Ivan H. Rustow, the Russian-born, Michigan-raised, Los Angeles–based painter, have created an essentially Indian art of language in which words and images in language are made to speak. Rustow was a prolific painter of letters that provided a useful record of his culture and people. Their series, which was a word for an email he sent to his parents in 1958, which traced the story of his parents tragic death, are more like reports of events than texts.Rustows paintings are emblems of hope. Word and image—as natural as a fire—are both realities here.

Analysis and review on the book -Granville Austin, The Indian Constitution: Cornerstone of a Nation, Oxford India. Text: N.T. Wright. Photo: Paru Devadasa. IN AN INDIAN CONTINENT, a century and a half after the Indian Mutiny, Britain fought a pivotal war with the Soviet Union. At the end of the war, the USSR was conquered. But a year later, the British Empire was still intact. This constitution has been the constant of British history since the birth of its Indian Empire—its constitution, a vast, richly varied collection of laws, is the final product of the empire-building process that continued in the years following the end of World War II. The Constitution, like the Indian Constitution, will never be wholly destroyed. Its existence is as a visible thing in the space of the British Empire. The British Museum, where the Constitution was on display, will remain on public view for the duration of the international exhibition of the Constitution that opens this month at the Royal Ontario Museum in Kingston, New York.N.T. Wright was appointed curator of British Indian Art at the Museum of Modern Art in Chicago in 1958. His exhibition of six volumes of A.R. Pencks Indian Constitution: The Second World War, and his biographical sketches, The Indian Constitution: Contemporary Perspectives on the British Constitution, made the case that British Indian art (and especially Indian art) was key to the development of British thinking about the development of a Commonwealth. A.R. Pencks Indian Constitution: Contemporary Perspectives on the British Constitution is an excerpt from the work of five artists: W. B. Yeats, Paul Cézannier, James Garton, Anni Cocteau, and N.T. Wright. His essays, printed in a large, bold-font, and italicized text that debuted at the Edinburgh International Art Festival in 1976, consider the development of British Indian art from the 40s to the 70s and identify the key structures of British Indian art.

Analysis and review on the book -Granville Austin, The Indian Constitution: Cornerstone of a Nation, Oxford India. A set of points on the frontier of modernity—the thing of a home, a shopping-cart rack, a tattered vinyl flag—in the late nineteenth century, this manuscript by the late-nineteenth-century Swedish critic Eric Andersson contains many of the elements of contemporary Indian culture.Yet for many years, the book was not the focus of The Indian Constitution. Instead, its subjects were works of a contemporary Indian culture, usually produced for a market in South Asia, or used as a paste for traditional Indian cuisine. The Indian Constitution was published posthumously in a volume, Dehli mutta (The Day After), 2009, published by the University of Chicago Press. Yet it was the opportunity to use it as a book that gave its structure an ongoing visual focus. This exhibition, the second installment of a three-part series of exhibition that curated by Colleen Walker, this year, included a long selection of these types of Indian works: films, books, photographs, text, and text pieces with audio commentary on the text.The interactive installations of the exhibition were a kind of introduction to the books visual/textual materiality, as Walker explains in her catalogue essay. Art as culture turns into culture as art, and thus on the same level as text. The metaphor of modernity is applied in an odd way, not only in the word Modernity, but also in its metaphoric form, as in modernity, an older word that is used to describe the distinctness of something, and modernity, in its current incarnation as the digital age. And so the term modernity is inverted. Modernity, in the Modern language, is a state of freedom, of the freedom to do whatever you want with the word modern. But what this phrase suggests, in this show, was that the freedom was to be in the modern world.In one room were six video projection works on plastic, arranged in a grid.

Analysis and review on the book -Granville Austin, The Indian Constitution: Cornerstone of a Nation, Oxford India. The title of this very recent exhibition, comprised of twenty-eight artists work from over thirty countries, addressed a complex theme of the Indian nation-state as a system of networks of relations, ideas, and moral values. The idea of a federation of nations, for instance, is a central feature of the new Indian constitution and was explicitly part of the Indian independence movement. The show also emphasized the importance of science and technology in the shaping of India's future. Each of the countries featured has modern technologies and Indian scientific and technological research capabilities. The exhibition also highlighted the emerging scientific and technological leadership in India: A significant number of Indian scientists are involved in the international market and have joined the scientific community. Articulate Systems, 1991, which was the show's central piece, depicts a group of such scientists who are working in the fields of applied sciences. At the center of each of the paintings is a table that reveals their intellectual roots: an idea of how to organize nature—a picture of the cyclical order. Like many of the works, the painting represents a constellation of ideas and techniques used by the scientists to understand how to synthesize human knowledge and create a new scientific system. In a similar way, the exhibition centered on a group of Indian scientists who are pursuing scientific and technological developments in different fields. Thus, the Indian artists were represented not only by their inventions but also by their scientific and technical expertise.The exhibition also highlighted the strength of the spiritual core of the Indian nation-state. A group of contemporary artists from four states, from the western states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madras, showed various ways in which theyve interpreted the Indian spirit in a wide variety of media. Many of these works, particularly those from the West, discussed the spiritual possibilities of various traditional Indian spiritual traditions, such as Swadeshi, Brahmin, Jain, and Jnanak.
