Full Description
This is a superbly illustrated and comprehensive study of the life and work of one of the leading figures in Indian modern art. Benodebehari Mukherjee (1904-1980) is today recognised as a seminal figure in the history of modern Indian art. He was a painter and muralist of great distinction, a hugely admired and respected teacher, and an insightful critic and theorist. This superbly illustrated retrospective features a number of essays by noted art scholars and historians, alongside excerpts from Mukherjee's own writings and a wide selection of the artist's work in a variety of mediums, including ink, tempera, large scrolls, and screen prints, from throughout his life - including those created after he lost his sight completely in 1957. This exhaustive monograph also features a comprehensive catalogue and timeline of the artist's life and works.
