| Summary: | "Lalitha Lajmi was born in Kolkata, India, in 1932. A self-taught artist, Lajmi's boundless artistic creativity was largely kept private for most of her life. Her first museum retrospective, at Mumbai's National Gallery of Modern Art, open its doors a month before the artist's death in 2023. Here, in the first critical biography published on the artist's work and life, Skye Arundhati-Thomas fashions a portrait of Lajmi through a meticulous analysis of the artist's watercolors and diaries. Lajmi comes into focus through psychoanalytic reflection, as India's "modernization project" unfolds in the background."--back cover |
