Buddhist Murals of Northeast Thailand : Reflections of the Isan Heartland Paperback / softback
by Bonnie Pacala Brereton, Somroay Yencheuy
Paperback / softback
Description
Books on mural painting in Thailand have tended to focus on works commissioned by royalty or other elites from the centers of power.
This volume is the first to examine a vibrant sub-school of painting from the rural heartland of the Northeastern Region, also known as Isan.
It is a multifaceted and empathetic study of these lovely and lively paintings, and will appeal to anyone interested in the Mekong Region as well as to scholars of art history, Buddhism, and anthropology in Southeast Asia.
