THE MYSTERY OF LOVE: Paintings and Poetry from India with Richard Runnels

Thursday 24 May 2012, 10:15 AM – 11:45 AM

More than any other subject, love has inspired Indian poetry and painting. In their unique manner, poets and painters have given us personal renditions of that most elusive of human emotions.

Join Richard Runnels to look at stunning art works from the major Indian styles of the 16th through 19th centuries, and discover the words that so beautifully describe them.

Richard Runnels is the author of Indian Painters – British Masters Company Paintings from The Johnston Collection. He has lectured at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, National Gallery of Victoria and The Johnston Collection on topics as diverse as art, tea, architecture and food from India.
