| Notes | Summary : Shekhawati : Rajasthan's painted homes / Pankaj Rakesh, Karoki Lewis. === Shekhawati, a veritable museum of fresco art, is a region close to Delhi, on the way to Jaipur. The unique form of wall decoration practised at Shekhawati provides an excellent reference about social influences on artists commissioned by merchants to paint their mansions. Today the region is undergoing ceaseless flux. Paintings are being destroyed; castles and forts have been turned into hotels. A way of life has passed. This book attempts to recreate a pictorial history of the region, and pays tribute to the fresco artists for the unique living record they have left behind. |
