India has always
been one of the prominent lands which encouraged and contributed to the
development of various art forms. If looked closely, one can infer that many
art forms that we are familiar with today date back to the roots derived from
India. The country has also been a land of origin for many popular art
masterpieces and Indian artists.
Indian paintings and Indian sculpture have carved a niche in the art and bear a
strong importance in their respective fields. Same applies to dance forms and
music, which also fall under performing arts. From the times of rock paintings
to the very recent digital art forms, India has always fared well on charts and
shone across different platforms.
When we sit down
to jot the points that were responsible for a revolution that stood apart from
others, we can sense the dominance of the ancient Indian Rajahs and famous
Mughal Emperors who are still looked upon as epitome of luxury and profound
majesty. They played a crucial role to propagate royal Indian artists come forward
with their ideas and give birth to a totally unorthodox and newer art forms
during that times. The unscarred beauty of one of the wonders, The Taj Mahal
still stands as a mark of opulence and rich culture that expressed luxury
through magnanimous levels of art. The Mughal era captured beauty in details
and this set in motion many art forms in motion that developed drastically
overtime to give life to a number of different styles.
This was the
initiation of a big boom in the field of art that the Indian artists of that
time lived up to. They came together from different corners of India and
displayed a rich variety of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and music
amongst many other renowned art forms. The various artefacts from this time
made rounds across the world and found an honourable mention, next to many
international greats. Indian artists were appreciated then and they are
appreciated in the world of now, as well. Now, not only these art forms have
evolved but they have broken all barriers of imagination and entered a world
full of abstract expressionism.
Indian artists
are still favoured in some of the world’s most respected art exhibitions and
their artworks are sold for millions, if not billions. Their works transcend
the beauty of material world and hint towards a more ideal and hand-shaped
world of partial realism that fetch them a strong preference across many
ideals.
