Sinossi

Religious Art explores the profound connection between artistic expression and religious experience across various cultures and historical periods. It delves into how religious paintings, sculptures, and sacred iconography serve as integral components of worship, shaping beliefs and fostering spiritual connections. The book illuminates the symbolic language embedded within these artworks, revealing the complex theological concepts they convey. For instance, the use of religious painting to communicate theological principles in Christianity and Buddhism, showcasing diverse styles and their impact.

 
This exploration progresses across several chapters, beginning with the fundamentals of religious art and iconography. It then examines the role of religious sculpture in ancient Greece and Hinduism, highlighting their function as physical manifestations of deities.

 
The book emphasizes that religious art is not merely a representation of faith but an active participant in constructing and maintaining religious belief. By adopting a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, this book offers a fresh perspective on the dynamic relationship between art, religion, and culture.

Journey into the magical world -...

Pabitra Adhikary

Since my childhood, one question used to haunt me again and again. What is next after death? Does demise mean an unperturbed and relaxed slumber? There will be no urgency to wake up one day. Does death mean the failure of heart? And then there will be no feelings at all.
 
What will the soul do after death? Will the soul get reunited with the great soul or
 
paramatma or will it wander around as a ghost? Will there be salvation or will there be new rebirth?

Isokon and the Bauhaus in Britain

Leyla Daybelge, Magnus Englund

In the mid-1930s, three giants of the international Modern movement, Bauhaus professors Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and László Moholy-Nagy, fled Nazi Germany and sought refuge in Hampstead in the most exciting new apartment block in Britain. The Lawn Road Flats, or Isokon building, was commissioned by the young visionary couple Jack and Molly Pritchard and designed by aspiring architect Wells Coates. Built in 1934 in response to the question 'How do we want to live now?' it was England's first modernist apartment building and was hugely influential in pioneering the concept of minimal living. During the mid-1930s and 1940s its flats, bar and dining club became an extraordinary creative nexus for international artists, writers and thinkers. Jack Pritchard employed Gropius, Breuer and Moholy-Nagy in his newly formed Isokon design company and the furniture, architecture and graphic art the three produced in pre-war England helped shape Modern Britain.
This book tells the story of the Isokon, from its beginnings to the present day, and fully examines the work, artistic networks and legacy of the Bauhaus artists during their time in Britain. The tales are not just of design and architecture but war, sex, death, espionage and infamous dinner parties. Isokon resident Agatha Christie features in the book, as does Charlotte Perriand who Jack Pritchard commissioned for a pavilion design in 1930.
The book is beautifully illustrated with largely unseen archive photography, and includes the work of photographer and Soviet spy Edith Tudor-Hart, as well as plans and sketches, menus, postcards and letters from the Pritchard family archive. In Spring 2018, the Isokon building and Breuer, Gropius and Moholy-Nagy were honoured with a Blue Plaque from English Heritage.
