Art at the Rockface : The Fascination of Stone
ISBN: 9780856676123 / Angielski / Twarda / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. This book examines the principal ways by which artists have explored the fascination and meaning of stone.

These ideas not only shaped specific landscapes in India, but also fed the imagination of a global audience throughout the British empire. The material in this engaging text ranges from river landscapes and tea plantations to elephants and bejeweled Indian...
