Europer Bhaskarja by Ashok Mitra [Hardcover]

This small book, aimed at young readers, covers the intrinsic, formal, stylistic, and historical aspects of European sculpture from its ancient origins to the most modern creations. It emphasizes that to understand the new, one must know the old, and to know the old, one must form a comprehensive understanding of the new. In human creations—whether philosophy, poetry, architecture, painting, or sculpture—there is no continuous linear progress. Eternal creations are woven with the tension between past and future, where the inspiration and grandeur of the new are hidden within the past.

This book will be valuable for anyone interested in the evolution of European sculpture, offering a unique perspective and understanding of this artistic form.
