Abstract:
The catalog essay examines the history of paper from its invention by Han Period Chinese and acquisition by Central Asian Turks where the process was learned and taken from Samarkand to Baghdad then to North Africa and Spain in the 12th century . The art of paper making arrived in India in the 8th century but was not widespread there until the early fifteenth century. This survey of key individuals and movements in India from the Mughal period to the present maps the aesthetic evolution and revolving attitudes in the use of paper as material for art.
