Beneath the winds

Beneath the winds: Masterpieces of Southeast Asian art presents a rich and wide-ranging selection of work from our near neighbours. It reflects the great beauty and diversity of the aesthetic heritage from a region whose profound historical role in the development of the modern world is only today being fully recognised. The book takes its title from the ancient name for the region of Southeast Asia, known before the arrival of Europeans as ‘the land beneath the winds’ and includes works from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Laos, Vietnam and the Philippines. Beneath the winds presents a refreshing and unexpected view of the Gallery’s collection in the selection of 120 works of art that are notable both for their visual elegance and idiosyncratic content. The book provides an introduction to the diverse aesthetic heritage of Southeast Asia.
