Hardcover. Zustand: New. Transports the reader to another time and age and space John Berger I wrap your name in mine I m mixing weed with wine I m the dot, you re the line I m the name, you re the sign This book is an exceptional document. It charts the journeys of Venkat, an artist from a remote tribal village in the Patangarh area of Madhya Pradesh to the art worlds of Bhopal, Delhi and to foreign lands in the footsteps of his uncle, the legendary Jangarh Singh Shyam who died under mysterious circumstances in Japan. It is a story of survival, both physical and artistic, in the underbelly of cities and in the by lanes of the art market. Written as an autobiography in a wonderfully devised Jugalbandi between the artist and his soulmate, Anand, in a dual voice, it charts an unexplored textual territory of narration. The delightful illustrations combine diverse linguistic modes. They approximate the factual and magical passages of the journeys to sparkle with an unusual incandescence. Gulammohammed Sheikh.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. By a small green hill called Patangarh flows the Narmada, the oldest river in the Indian subcontinent, once called Gondwana. Here, the Pardhan Gonds make extraordinary murals on their adobe homes, play the bana and sip mahua. As a Gond artist today, Venkat Raman Singh Shyam s art talks to both these walls and the spires of Gaudí s extravagance in Sagrada Familia. His life too has travelled such distances. Twenty years ago Venkat had to draw a rickshaw to survive Delhi. Today he draws one to tell his life s story in Finding my Way. Through his journey he sings Kabir, as he winds his way into his pasts and futures to find a way to the present. Venkat is joined by S. Anand, who finds the words for the story. (jacket).
