Art
and Life in Bangladesh
by Henry Glassie
It's unfortunate that most people associate Bangladesh with starvation,
natural disasters, and political turmoil, as if this region of the world
existed in a perpetual state of emergency. It is true that life in Bangladesh
is not easy--there are crop failures, typhoons, and political unrest--but
there is also a long and rich tradition of art, ranging from the potter's
craft to amazing works of painting, engraving, weaving, sculpture, metalwork,
and more. In Art and Life in Bangladesh, Henry Glassie, a professor of
folklore at Indiana University, introduces readers to the people of Bangladesh
through their artwork. But Glassie's book is not a coffee-table volume
filled with gorgeous images and a thin trickle of print; rather, art is
simply the medium by which he guides the reader through the history, culture,
and community of this small land situated on the world's widest delta.
Glassie is not content merely to survey Bangladeshi art; instead, he
introduces readers to individual artists, allowing each of them to speak
at length about his or her work and motivation. It soon becomes clear that
in Bangladesh, art and everyday life are inextricably linked. Photographs
are liberally sprinkled throughout the text--if only some of them were
in color. Perhaps with Art and Life in Bangladesh, Glassie, who has performed
similar ethnographic marvels in books about Irish and Turkish art, will
help promote a more positive image of this ancient land. Amazon.com
