Literature Literature

'‘The point is, his objects belong neither to the intimate comforts of a home nor to the glamour of the market-place, both environments being specifically bourgeois in their origins. Very curiously in the object-world he reclaims the sense of the sacred that he so consciously drains from the human being and from God."
- Geeta Kapur, Contemporary Indian Artists, pg 30, 1978
