Karnataka
has a rich history of art and culture and its many
indigenous forms are popular even today. Interestingly,
there is very little in common between art in Bangalore
and art in Karnataka. Fusion thrives in Bangalore
while it is folk art for the rest of the state. Bangalore
has woken up to a vibrant cultural scenario. On any
given weekend, there are new releases in the movie
halls, plays, dances, art exhibitions, book signings,
concerts or just a group of people getting together
to jam.
The
Arts section gives comprehensive information about-
painting and sculpture, music, dance, theatre, films
and literature. There are not only listings of the
art galleries, music schools, dance schools and theatre
groups, but also a brief description that accompanies
them. Special box sections have write-ups of famous
artists and their work. Others have interesting information
about the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath and
The Roerich Institute of Fine Arts, set up
by Russian Born artist, Svetoslav Roerich.
This
section in Stark World - Bangalore &
Karnataka not only informs you about the art and
the institutes but also gives a brief background about
the history of the art form. The box section on dance
tells you about the various dance forms prevalent,
and their evolution through the years. Similarly box
sections trace the growth of theatre in Bangalore.
The birth and history of Kannada films also find place
in this section. Doyens of both Kannada and English
literature have been profiled, along with a special
section for the literary genius RK Narayanan.
On the whole, this section is completely devoted to
art and artists.
