Folk Designs from India India, an enormous country and home to nearly one billion people, harbours a wide variety of ornamental and decorative styles. However, despite this vastness and diversity, India's cultural traditions demon- strate some distinct common factors, notably the tendency to adorn and bcautify. The desire to decorate seems to be embedded within the country's society. This applies in particular to personal appearance and to the home and its immcdiate surroundings. Examples of this are to be found in the intricate textile designs presented here, which are either mcant for clothing or for home furnishing, as well as in the stunning wall and floor painting designs. Often, Indian design has a religious or symbolic meaning, for instance, the floor paintings which are made in front of the entrances to many Indian homes, are meant to guard against evil forces, and to stimulate the good fortune and health of the inhabitants. On page 288 a short bibliography is given for readers in search of further Information on Indian art and design. However, as is the case with all Pepin Press Design Books, Folk Designs from India, is meant to provide a large selection of Images, all in single-colour line drawings, which serve to display designs in their purest form. For all designs in this book, the state of origin is specified. See the map on page 3 for the location of these States. Furthermore, the captions may contain some unfamiliar tcrms, which are explained here. 4

Traditionelle indische Ornamentik Indien ist ein Land von ungeheurer Weite und nicht nur Heimat fast einer Milliarde Menschen: Es bietet auch in bezug auf Ornamentik und Dekor eine weitgespannte Stilpalette. Trotz dieser Größe und Vielfalt weisen die verschiedenen indischen Kulturtraditionen ganz bestimmte Gemeinsamkeiten auf, vor allem die Tendenz zum Ausschmücken und Verschönern; der Hang zum Dekorieren ist ein offenbar fest in der indischen Gesellschaft verwurzeltes Element. Dies trifft besonders auf das Äußere der Menschen selbst, ihre Wohnungen und ihre unmittelbare Umgebung zu. Ein Beispiel sind die komplexen Textildekors in diesem Buch - teils für Kleidung, teils zum Dekorieren der Wohnungen - und die beeindruckende Ornamentik in der Wand- und Bodenmalerei. Oft hat die indische Formensprache religiöse oder symbolische Aussagen. Beispielsweise sollen die vor den Eingängen vieler indischer Wohnhäuser angebrachten Zeichnungen vor bösen Kräften schützen und den Bewohnern Glück und Gesundheit bringen. Leser, die sich eingehender mit indischer Kunst und Formgebung beschäftigen möchten, finden dazu auf Seite 228 eine kurze Bibliographie. Wie alle Pepin Press-Designbücher soll Traditionelle indische Ornamentik jedoch in erster Linie eine große Auswahl an Bildern bieten. Alle Bilder sind als einfarbige Linienzeichnungen ausge- führt, um die einzelnen Muster in möglichst reiner Form darzustellen. Zu jedem Muster ist auch der Bundesstaat angegeben, aus dem es stammt; wo die Staaten liegen, ist der Karte auf Seite 3 zu entnehmen. Die Bildunterschriften enthalten zum Teil wenig bekannte Begriffe, die wir im folgenden erklären: 6
