{"product_id":"9782843235726","title":"Indian Beauty: Bollywood Style","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe movies made in the studios of Bombay brimming with ravishing eyes, generous hips, ample breasts, syrupy music, and sultry dance routines, and set in wedding-cake décors have spawned a distinct style now identified by a succinct moniker: Bollywood. This genre s unique blend of kitsch and eroticism has not only invaded the screens of the Indian diaspora, but is now influencing art and fashion throughout the West.\u003cbr\u003eMore than a sociological and aesthetic discussion of the recent phenomenon, this book explores the visual and narrative origins of Bollywood style, grounded in Indian art and religion. It shows how Bollywood s frenzy, sanctity, sensuality, and sentiment are variously indebted to Mughal miniatures, racy statues of Ganesh and Shiva, erotic temples in Khajuraho, and vivid passages from the Kama Sutra.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assouline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052629606640,"sku":"9782843235726","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782843235726_p0.jpg?v=1763707461","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782843235726","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
