Himalayan Art Resources: Book Reviews

The mission of the Himalayan Art Resources Book Reviews Channel is to share with our viewers the richness of the vast library of publications that are used in the cataloguing and study of Himalayan art.
 
There are many different types of publications about Himalayan art. In general publications can be sorted into three main categories of 1. Art History, 2. Iconography and 3. Religious Context. Art History relates to style, region, period and medium. There are two main types of iconography publications, those that are illustrative with drawings, images or diagrams and the second is textually descriptive. Religious context refers to those publications that explain the abstract meanings of the various types of art along with origins and myths.
