Black: An Artist's Tribute, Hardcover

Descriere

``The rightful place for an artist, his real world, is a pot of black ink. I believe it contains all the magic, all the forms, everything that human beings can imagine and render...`` says Mithila artist Santosh Kumar Das. In this poetic and conceptually rich memoir of his growth into art, he pays a poignant tribute to the muses that led him to becoming an artist--the greatest of them being his mother, along with the other women of the household who practised this originally female tradition.
