Soft cover. Zustand: New. Ganesh Pyne (1937 2013), one of the foremost artists of post-Independence India, is no stranger to connoisseurs of art in India. His haunting images of intimations of mortality, the crepuscular light in his canvases, and his brilliant use of his own version of tempera are widely admired. But he was a shy, reclusive man, who has left little trace of himself in public memory. Memorialising Ganesh Pyne fills this gap by bringing to life the sensitive artist through a remarkable series of photographs shot by artist Veena Bhargava across two decades. The portfolio of portrait and group photographs that capture glimpses of the artist at work and leisure also provide poignant insights into a very private person. This visual record is anchored by two essays: the first, by Bhargava, recounts her experience of taking these perceptive images; the second, by Ella Datta, analyses the aesthetic value of these rarely seen portraits as well as Bharagava s artistic experiment on a suite of photo collages featuring Pyne with elements from his works. A detailed timeline of politics and culture during Pyne s life adds archival value to the book. The volume will be invaluable for Pyne enthusiasts and research scholars alike.…

Becoming whole. Biodata. Selected bibliography. "The reclusive Ganesh Pyne, is arguably, one of the more enigmatic figures in the Indian art world. The dizzy heights his prices scale are but one indication of his standing. Yet, few have a clear understanding of the man and his deeply disturbing world of darkness and shadows. Like the author R.K. Narayan and his Malgudi, Pyne has created his own universe. This world is populated by two-dimensional figures, stiff, angular and often skeletal, surrounded by dark pools of water where boats ply and swords dangle. This world is created in an unique visual language, a synthesis between tradition and modernity, but in itself a truly original idiom. As the interest in Pyne's work has grown so has the curiosity about the man. "Now a biography, the first in English language, seeks to unravel the inner world of Ganesh Pyne.Ella Datta, a journalist and a critic, has been researching the artist for over fifteen years. Her book probes Pyne's psyche and looks at his milieu. It explores his rootedness in the Bengali ethos but recognises his essential modernity that enables him to rise above time and place. The result is a book of pioneering significance both for art lovers as well as for art historians." (jacket) No. 25389 118 pp.…
