Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The concept and visualization of this book is to enlighten the art lovers. The involvement and devotion of the creative artist, whose life is like a continuos flow of river from its source absorbing and digesting all the influences on the way. In this fast moving world, creative art has to some extent succumbed to the tactics of industry promotion of immediate monetary returns.
My personal observation is that art is mental nourishment and not physical food for survival. Real forms of art are those which alleviate you beyond yourself. In this publication, I've tried to bring to light my search and my evolution through my work from 1948 to 1998. I've tried to analyze each selected painting chronologically with my own approach from subject to technical treatment.
