This book traces the emergence of modernism in art in South Asia by
exploring the work of the iconic artist George Keyt. Closely
interwoven with his life, Keyt's art reflects the struggle and
triumph of an artist with very little support or infrastructure. He
painted as he lived: full of colour, turmoil and intensity. In this
compelling account, the author examines the eventful course of
Keyt's journey, bringing to light unknown and startling facts: the
personal ferment that Keyt went through because of his tumultuous
relationships with women; his close involvement with social events
in India and Sri Lanka on the threshold of Independence; and his
somewhat angular engagement with artists of the '43 Group. A
collector's delight, including colour plates and black and white
photographs, reminiscences and intimate correspondences, this book
reveals the portrait of an artist among the most charismatic
figures of our time. This book will be of interest to scholars and
researchers of art and art history, modern South Asian studies,
sociology, cultural studies as well as art aficionados.
