Description

India Modern by Herbert J.M. Ypma is a visually stunning compilation of modern Indian design and architecture. This beautifully crafted book explores contemporary sub-continental design and craft, placing it within the context of native traditions and history. The book examines roots and themes from village societies to Mogul palaces, showcasing how traditional forms and methods are reinvigorated in the contemporary arts. With a perceptive text on various subjects, including the Indian use of colour and traditional hand-looming techniques, the images provide an insight into the emergence of an exciting aesthetic that combines traditional forms with contemporary designs. Herbert Ypma travelled across India to bring together this array of astonishing images of buildings, textiles, ceramics, and people. The result is a unique and captivating visual journey through modern Indian design and architecture.
