India Painting

India PaintingThe story of Indian painting begins with The of primitive man which has sui vived in rock shelters and caves in places tike Hoshangabad, Mirzapur and Bhimbetka.

Stone Age paintings belonging to the Magdaienian phase (15,000 B.C.) have been discovered elsewhere. The chances are that the paintings in India do not go that far back. But it is accepted that the primitive intellect and vision can survive for long when communities are isolated. Thus these paintings share the vivid realism of primitive art that has been discovered in many places like Altamira in Spain and Lascaux in France.
