Shifting away from the traditional connoisseur approach, Jinah Kim instead focuses on the materiality of painting: its mediums, its visions, and especially its colors. She argues that the adoption of a special type of manuscript called \u003ci\u003epothi\u003c\/i\u003e enabled the material translation of a private and internal experience of \"seeing\" into a portable device. These mobile and intimate objects then became important conveyors of many forms of knowledge--ritual, artistic, social, scientific, and religious--and spurred the spread of visual knowledge of Indic Buddhism to distant lands. By taking color as the material link between a vision and its artistic output, \u003ci\u003eGarland of Visions\u003c\/i\u003e presents a fresh approach to the history of Indian painting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jinah Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520343212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520343214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Jinah Kim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047209758975,"sku":"9780520343214","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d10e490-7d2e-4f30-b5a7-7effaf78f22c.jpg?v=1684988888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/garland-of-visions-jinah-kim-9780520343214","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
