Partha Mitter introduced by Vidya Dehejia Presented by Rajasthan Patrika Originally published in 1977, Much Maligned Monsters was the first work to deal with the Western response to Indian art. In this session, eminent Indian art historian Partha Mitter looks back on the writing of a postcolonial classic and traces the history of European reactions to Indian art, from the earliest encounters of explorers with the 'Exotic East' to the more sophisticated but still incomplete appreciations of the early twentieth century.
