  3. Most Pichhwais seen in museums and books are in excellent condition. 

    But generally Pichhwais that have been in home alters, often passed down to family members for generations, show signs of age due to harsh environmental conditions. 

    These Pichhwais are examples of paintings that has not been restored.

  4. Most of Shrinathji paintings were made in Nathdwara, which was and is the center of the Vallabhacharya sect, yet some were also made in the neighboring Rajasthani courts of Kotah, Kishangarh and Mewar.

    This is a fine example of a work made in Kotah.

  7. George Washington O'Neal 1869-1949) was a prolific decoy carver from North Carolina. 

    There is a simplicity to O'Neal's carving and a directness to his painting. 

    Most of the wood for O'Neal's decoys were juniper, but he also used wood from old telegraph poles.

Others create works from an internal world. At times, this blog will also examine lesser-known non-western art forms, both contemporary and historic that will enhance the understanding of the artists presented.
