This volume delves into how art reflects the ever-evolving relationship between humanity and nature, exploring industrialization’s impact on cultural practices and memory.

In The Concept of Tradition and Other Essays, K. G. Subramanyan explores questions about art and tradition, such as whether tradition is more than a mere linear progression of artifacts and ideas. He also explores how art reflects on the evolving relationship between nature and humanity and the impact industrialization has had on our aesthetic sensibilities. He interrogates the structures that transmit cultural knowledge across generations while exploring whether tradition can serve as a viable framework for human endeavor in modern society. Subramanyan brings his trademark candour, lucidity, and wisdom to these reflections and responses.

Good afternoon.
Thank you for reaching out.
Being a Barodian and designer by profession, I m familiar with Mani sir s works and writings.
I bought this book from you recently only because I did not have one in my collection and currently will use it as a reference book for my ongoing research on life and work of a craftsman. I ve also ordered for the magic of making and paid for it but has not yet arrived. Could you pl check on the shipment of this book?
Thank you
Best
