Description of Original Art from India Madhubani Folk Paintings Home Decor Organic Color Paper 22 x 30 inches
Original Art Paintings handmade by artisans of Bihar. Art from India Madhubani paintings come on a cowdung treated handmade paper. Madhubani is a small village in Bihar, in India , complete with its small clay and straw huts and narrow lanes. This little village is the heartland of the internationally acclaimed school of folk art painting called Madhubani or Mithila painting. The origin of this Asian art, Madhubani paintings, is traced back to epic periods with the tradition of painting walls for the purpose of home decor and ceremonial rituals. Natural and mythological figures, added with Hindu deities, besides regional flora and fauna, are painted on houses and village walls to mark the seasonal festivals of the year and for special events of the life cycle, especially the rite of marriage. The asian art in khobar or the nuptial room at the brides house are meant to bestow a blissful life on the newly married couple and hence, there is an abundance of images related to fertility, love and conjugality. The other symbols thia asian art of India include the moon, a source of heavenly nectar, the sun to fertilize and impregnate turtles to bring beneficent powers to the matrimonial alliance, parrots to symbolize the couple and fishes for fertility. The human figures are mostly abstract and linear in form and the animals more naturalistic. Colors applied have no shading. Normally a double line is drawn for the outlines, with the gap between the lines filled by cross or tiny straight lines. In the linear painting, no colors are applied. Only the outlines are drawn. Often, a coat of whitewash is also applied before actually starting the painting. Traditionally, natural colors obtained from plant extracts are used.Tools and Hardware
