Indian painting is mentioned in various texts. In the Chitrasutra of Vishnudharmottara Purana, as much detail and clear description of painting has been given, it is not found in any other text. The author has considered the work of a painter as a difficult practice. He has described the status of a painter as a yogi. The difference between the two is only that the yogi creates a world to which the common man cannot reach, he does not even imagine enjoying the pleasures of life, the painter enjoys bliss and fame in this material life as well as ecstasy and He also receives the Supreme. Painting is a long practice. The paths of his accomplishment are very difficult, but his results are equally excellent. From the Indian point of view, the best painting has been described as the means of worldly travel and the reason for the transcendental selflessness.
Abstract [Hindi]
भारतीय चित्रकला का उल्लेख विभिन्न ग्रन्थों में मिलता है। विष्णुधर्मोत्तर पुराण के चित्रसूत्र में चित्रकला का जितना विस्तृत एवं स्पष्ट वर्णन किया गया है, उतना अन्य किसी ग्रन्थ में नहीं मिलता है। ग्रन्थकार ने चित्रकार के काम को कठिन साधना माना है। उन्होंने चित्रकार की स्थिति एक योगी के समान बतलायी है। दोनों में अन्तर इतना ही है कि योगी एक ऐसे लोक का निर्माण करता है, जहाँ साधारण व्यक्ति नहीं पहुंच सकता, वह जीवन के सुख के उपभोग की कल्पना भी नहीं करता है; चित्रकार इस भौतिक जीवन में आनन्द और यश के साथ-साथ परमानन्द और परमयश भी प्राप्त करता है। Gairola (1963) चित्र रचना एक लम्बी साधना है। उसकी सिद्धि के मार्ग बड़े दुर्गम हैं, किन्तु उसके परिणाम भी उतने ही श्रेष्ठ हैं। भारतीय दृष्टिकोण से श्रेष्ठ चित्रकर्म को ऐहिक लोकयात्रा का साधन और पारलौकिक निःश्रेयस का कारण बताया गया है।
