About This Item
London.: Gallery One., 1957. Original pink wrappers, stapled. Small stains to front cover, otherwise good.. (23 x 15.2 cm).. pp. (20). Photographic frontispiece photo of the artist & 12 black and-white illustrations of paintings. Despite now being seen as the master of Indian Modernist painting, for his first six years in Europe after emigrating to London in 1949, Souza’s first wife Maria was the sole breadwinner for the family, while Souza struggled to support himself financially with his art through the occasional exhibition and commission, and through his journalism. By 1955 however, the tide turned. It was the year of Souza’s first solo exhibition at Victor Musgrave’s Gallery One, which together with New Vision Centre, Signals and Indica, played an important role in defining London as a centre for radical artistic expression. Souza’s show was a triumph - he won patrons as well as acclaim from key art critics of the time, including Edwin Mullins and David Sylvester, who likened the expressionistic nature of his art to that of Graham Sutherland and Francis Bacon. This is the exhibition catalogue for Souza's second exhibition at Gallery One in 1957.
