Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a founder member of Group 1890, Shah championed contemporary Indian art as distinct from the influential Paris and New York schools. Shah's style is instantly recognizable in the totemic and iconic heads that are rather phallic in shape. They are contemplative and embody masculinity rather than portraiture. By applying techniques used in printmaking, Shah marks the surfaces with grooves and etching, whether the sculpture be in terracotta or bronze. -- Dust Jacket.
