Janeita Singh's The Archetypal Artist opens with a subtle warning, urging the reader to be prepared for a high-voltage zone.
It is the unconventional realm of renowned modernist painter—Francis Newton Souza. We stumble into an alternative universe of liberated women and men thriving in a world stripped of its hypocrisy and norms.
F.N. SOUZA: THE ARCHETYPAL ARTIST By Janeita Singh Published by Niyogi Books Price: ₹4,500; pages: 320
Armed with over 130 images of Souza's artworks, Singh's 21 essays unravel the mystique that Souza was. Singh delves deep into Souza's works, which she believes are mined from his soul. Singh analyses how they reflect the human psyche. As we delve around Singh's feminist reading of Souza, it is imperative to understand how mammoth a figure he remains in the art world.
