Gradin, Architect LEED AP The late Ananda K. Coomaraswamy (1887-1947), curator of Indian art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, was a polymath who uniquely combined in himself the roles of geologist, art historian, philosopher, orientalist and linguist of ancient languages. Through his writings, including his seminal essay on “Christian and Oriental Art”, he not only encourages a deeper understanding of Eastern and Western, ancient and medieval forms of art and architecture, but also illustrates their timeless relevance.
