The Night Life of Trees - Illustrated Book by Bhajju Shyam, Durga Bai & Ramsingh Urveti | Folk Art, Tribal Stories & Nature Inspiration for Home Decor & Gift Giving

Product Description

The Night Life of Trees is an exquisite silkscreen-printed art book of tree lore from the Gond tribe in central India. Trees are central to the Gond tribal imagination: in addition to the stories that surround them, trees are important in a lived, everyday sense. There is a Gond belief that trees are busy during the day, giving shade and food to humans and animals. It is only during the night that their real spirit emerges. A collection of work by three of the finest living artists of the Gond tribe – traditionally a community of forest dwellers from central India – this quintessential Tara title has gone into several editions and in different languages.
