NEPALESE ARTS
Art is the expression of mind. It not only reflects the
creativity of the artist but also the environment and situation where the
artist lives. Nepalese art is renowned for its simplicity, originality, and specialty.
Nepal has remained a land of ancient civilization. Its
art and culture has come a long way. But our early artefacts have not been preserved.
Our art could be preserved only with the rise of king Lichchhavi king
Mandeva. Artefacts, Inscription, Manuscripts, etc are the important source of
art and culture.
Art of painting is the art or work of using paints on
surfaces. Nepali art of painting is highly based on religion. It is supposed
to have begun during the Lichchhavi period. It was followed by sculpture. We
have in Nepal three main categories of paintings - Book painting, Scroll
painting and wal painting.
The oldest book paintings were made on copper
plate, palm leaf, wood, etc..scroll paintings are drawn on paper or clothes.
The oldest book painting is prajnaparamita. Scroll paintings are pata and
mandala whereas wall paintings are mithila, etc.
Thus, art and culture is also a source of foreign income
.It helps to lead country towards the development.
