The article discusses the book "Early Indian Sculpture," by Ludwig Bachhofer. The main purpose of the work is to describe the development of style during the five centuries covered. Bachhofer states that aims of Indian art have always been the same, only means have varied from period to period. Thus, in the early period there was a stage of very primitive stone sculpture, possibly based on wooden prototypes, which is frontal and angular, then came a stage when the art found itself. In this period art is in ordered and regular style, classic, with depth and softened line and finally came a stage of free development culminating in the riotous, illusionistic art of Amaravati, India.
