Delve into the complex ‘grafted arts’ that shaped Western India from 1760-1910, exploring the fusion of art making and taking during an era of colonial struggle. This insightful study reveals how Maratha rulers and the British East India Company wielded art for diplomacy, war, and prestige, creating a unique artistic synthesis. Discover the processes of ‘grafting’—suturing, losing, and gaining—that defined this period, recasting artistic production and collection. Essential for students and scholars of Indian art history, colonial studies, and South Asian culture, this book highlights how these fractured arts ignited nationalist sentiment.
