Interesting article by William Darlymple on Chola/Pallava bronzes and
Kama Sutra in the current edition of 'The New York review of books'

"In Western art, few sculptors—except perhaps Donatello or Rodin—have
achieved this essence of sensuality so spectacularly evoked by the
Pallava and Chola bronze sculptures, or have conveyed such a sense of
celebration of the divine beauty of the human body."
