Art and Life: Bengal Art Through Ages presents a chronological picture of development of Bengal art, various stages of its evolution and its decline in the medieval period. Never ever the successive phases of its development have been studied so comprehensively.

No less remarkable is another chapter on the market of ancient artworks which is rightfully claimed as a ground breaking work in the field of Indian art history. The geography of Bengal art, yet another absorbing chapter forming part of this volume also deserve full attention of the scholars of art history.
