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.

Book excerpt: "An Ultimate Hero of the Dark" is a highly poignant tale about a socially marginalised slum boy Chandu, his spiny struggles, heart touching family love and sacrifices, beautiful but sketchy love story, exemplary friendship, heart-melting talks while dying and mind squeezing great immolation. This tale is full of emotions, sacred romance, thrills, suspense, betrayals, avenge, sacrifices and all the materials able to strongly hold the fiction lovers. This tale also shows the dark side of socially neglected people and the rough mentalities of a few affluent people about them. In order to curiously know how much was the mournful life of Chandu during birth; how his life becomes changed when came in the friendship of Shiwa; how he fell in the deep love of his fast friend Shiwa's sister, Shaumya; how he saves the life of his fast friends and others from the hands of scoundrels and gangsters; how the friendship of Chandu, Krishna, Sapna and Shiwa comes at their peaks following several critical and dangerous turns and twists of life; how he saves two families from the crocodile's mouth of Singhush, his scoundrel son, a cheater family friend; how chapters of innocent loves of Shaumya and Sapna for both friends cruelly remain unaccomplished and many more joyful and mournful twists; the reader must go till the end of the story. Readers will find all spices at one place in the form of highly interesting and thrilling story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounts of men who have had led significant lives can often be well-meaning but little more than a litany of personal achievements strung together in chronology In the hands of someone like Hasmukh Shan the memoir turns into a rich tapestry or sharp insightful observations. evocative accounts or people from across a dazzlingly broad spectrum, an inside view of events of great significance and a self-deprecatory glimpse into the author's own contributions. This candid recalling of a life begins quietly in a little-known princely state but goes on to dive into the political waters in the capital of India. Hasmukh Shah it seems, entered calamitous times somewhat by accident. His remarkable journey beginning with a modest background, brings him to the job of administering the office of the prime minister or India, and later at the helm of one of India's largest public sector. His post retirement life is extraordinary - all told as mesmerising stories peppered with cameos from the some giants of that time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoir of an Artist is a compelling account of an unpredictable life that stretches through India, Nigeria, and Paris. As a student, he was a witness to the student revolt in Paris in 1968; in the seventies, he was in Nigeria observing the post-Biafra scenario as a teacher in the university. As a product of institutional education that shaped and groomed the new artists, he realizes the impact of Eurocentric dialogue on Indian art so imposing that it makes Indian art in perpetual transit. Again, in the process of creating dialogue within Kolkata life, author discovers contemporary art indeed has no social connectivity; thus, the educated progressive is unable to dialogue with the progressing art. Indian modernism has become a manufactured brand within art commerce, aligned to global marketing. Meanwhile, life has many spectrums, and the author has observed the modernistic agenda exists in contemporary art, as in many activities of Indian life, but each is like an island without connectivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of art, the Paris-trained artist Amrita Sher-Gil wrote in 1936, is to "create the forms of the future” by “draw[ing] its inspiration from the present.” Through art, new worlds can be imagined into existence as artists cultivate forms of belonging and networks of association that oppose colonialist and nationalist norms. Drawing on Edward Said’s notion of “affiliation” as a critical and cultural imperative against empire and nation-state, Worldly Affiliations traces the emergence of a national art world in twentieth-century India and emphasizes its cosmopolitan ambitions and orientations. Sonal Khullar focuses on four major Indian artists—Sher-Gil, Maqbool Fida Husain, K. G. Subramanyan, and Bhupen Khakhar—situating their careers within national and global histories of modernism and modernity. Through a close analysis of original artwork, archival materials, artists’ writing, and period criticism, Khullar provides a vivid historical account of the state and stakes of artistic practice in India from the late colonial through postcolonial periods. She discusses the shifting terms of Indian artists’ engagement with the West—an urgent yet fraught project in the wake of British colonialism—and to a lesser extent with African and Latin American cultural movements such as Négritude and Mexican muralism. Written in a lucid and engaging style, this book links artistic developments in India to newly emerging histories of modern art in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Drawing on original research in the twenty-first-century art world, Khullar shows the persistence of modernism in contemporary art from India and compares its function to Walter Benjamin’s ruin. In the work of contemporary artists from India, modernism is the ground from which to imagine futures. This richly illustrated study juxtaposes little-known, rarely seen, or previously unpublished works of modern and contemporary art with historical works, popular or mass-reproduced images, and documentary photographs. Its innovative art program renders newly visible the aesthetic and political achievements of Indian modernism.
