The Evolution of Printmaking in Assam, North-East India

More about the book

The study explores the evolution of graphic art and printmaking in Assam during the 19th century, initially used for commercial purposes. It highlights the lack of discussion among artists, writers, and scholars about this technique before the "Orunodoi Era," which marked a significant shift, elevating its importance within Assam's art scene. The thesis provides insights into the cultural and historical context that contributed to the growth and recognition of printmaking as a vital artistic expression in the region.
