"Much of today's most exuberant, most creative and most telling imagery is all around us, in the street. Nowhere is the visual cornucopia more striking than in India, whose roads are a continuous gallery of images vibrantly portraying the country's rich cultural diversity. From Arabian Sea to Indian Ocean, Northern Himalayas to southernmost tip, the subcontinent's overwhelming profusion of art and design excites the eyes." "Street furniture, architecture, transport, billboards, posters, packaging, animals and people are all used as the media of calculated design and spontaneous expression. Ancient or modern, permanent or transient, India's street art has evolved in a myriad of styles reflecting regional variation and concerns." "Barry Dawson's photographs offer both a colorful journey through India's cities, towns and villages and a graphic celebration of its creative street culture. Here is an inspirational sourcebook of vibrant ideas for students and practitioners of art and design, as well as a vivid visual record for visitors. Book jacket."--Jacket.
