Summary: Readings on Painting, a double issue and the last in the archival series, commemorating Marg having completed its 75th year in publication, lays out the integral role that the magazine played—and continues to play—in the shaping of South Asia’s national and regional imaginaries. It maps this long and trail-blazing journey—from early preoccupations with the political, religious and cultural origins of style to more recent studies of paintings as registers of emotion, wonder, knowledge and the art market. Although painting has often been perceived as the sole purview of manuscripts and elite male spheres, the volume expands its remit to include murals, textiles, scrolls and standalone works on paper, many produced for broad consumption and many created by women. Guest edited by Dipti Khera and Yael Rice, this volume provides an overview of the key debates and methods that have shaped the study of Indian painting over the last 75 years.
