Spring 2017 The Arts of War LORD CLIVE MEETING WITH MIR JAFAR AFTER THE BATTLE OF PLASSEY, OIL ON CANVAS (FRANCIS HAYMAN, C. 1762) India has a rich history of being at war. At no point in time was the nation, as it stands today, a single country. Composed of a few major kingdoms, and hundreds of smaller principalities, war was a common occurrence. The role of art in these conflicts can not be mistaken, whether it is the poetry or the murals commissioned by royals of all power levels. Art, oftentimes, acts as a bridge between the wishful imagination often served to us as Indian history, and the truth of what happened. Regardless of the position that artwork takes on the justness of conflict, it can safely be ascertained that art is integral to conversations about war. By depicting “the iconography of suffering,” as Susan Sontag mentions in her book Regarding the Pain of Others, and exploring its larger implications through art, this issue of the magazine hopes to sensitise its readers about war and death. We present art and artists as an entry point into something that is almost fundamental to human life- war. 6
The Creative Process The Creative Process team wishes that the reader examine these works and critiques closely, and think of the larger implications that these works and stories occupy in the master narratives that are being marketed today. The world is changing, and it is at war. But we must also know what it means. If you feel like you want to talk to us about any of the articles, or want to correspond and initiate a conversation with the TMAC team, email us at letters@themumbaiartcollective.com, and we will be happy to carry it forward. Warm Regards, Ishaan Jajodia. Editor, The Creative Process. -- 7
