Neuware - Warum gab es keine bedeutenden Kunsthistorikerinnen Jo Ziebritzki geht dieser Frage nach, um die misogynen und patriarchalen Strukturen der Kunstgeschichte zu verstehen. Sie widmet sich dem Werk der Kunsthistorikerin Stella Kramrisch (1896-1993) und geht der irritierenden Kluft zwischen Kramrischs damals gefragter Expertise und dem heutigen Fehlen ihres Werks in der Kunstgeschichtsschreibung auf den Grund. Als Expertin für indische Kunst schrieb Kramrisch gegen koloniale Abwertungsstrategien an. Die Argumente zur Anerkennung des eigenständigen künstlerischen und ästhetischen Wertes indischer Tempelplastiken und Malereien entfaltet sie in Publikationen und vielbesuchten Ausstellungen in Zusammenarbeit mit diskursprägenden Institutionen in Indien und im Europa der 1920er bis 1940er wie etwa dem Wiener Institut für Geschichte, Springers Handbuch Kunstgeschichte, der Reformbewegung und dem Warburg Institut. Warum wissen wir nichts von dieser Tänzerin zwischen Kulturen, der scharfen Beobachterin und poetisch präzisen Autorin Die Gründe des Vergessens zu verstehen und zugleich die Erschließung ihrer Werke, Methoden und Kunstbegriffe voranzubringen, dient der Depatriarchalisierung der Kunstgeschichtsschreibung und ihrer polyperspektivischen Erweiterung.

Stella Kramrisch (1896-1993) was a pioneering interpreter of Indian art and its religious contexts. During her sixty-year career as a creative scholar, teacher, museum curator, and editor, she was been a dominant force in shaping European, American, and Asian notions of Indian culture. Exploring India's Sacred Art presents a selection of her influential essays, along with a biographical essay.The writings collected here emphasize the cultural and symbolic values of Indian art. The first section discusses the social and religious contexts of art. This is followed by essays on various forms of ritual art. The section entitled "The Subtle Body" is derived from her term for the form that underlies concrete shapes; it includes studies of literary and visual symbolism. Further essays concentrate on formal and technical aspects of temple structure and painting in the context of their symbolic meaning.

This first book-length study on kanthas published outside of South Asia focuses on two premier collections, one assembled by the legendary historian of Indian art, Dr. Stella Kramrisch, the other by Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz, leading proponents of self-taught art. Created from worn-out garments imaginatively embroidered by women with motifs and tales drawn from a rich regional repertoire, kanthas traditionally were stitched as gifts for births,weddings, and other family occasions. Innovative essays by leading scholars explore the domestic, ritual, and historical contexts of the fascinating quilts in these collections--made between the mid-19th and mid-20th century in what is today Bangladesh and West Bengal, India--and trace their reinterpretation as emblems of national identity and works of art.
