Sakkhatkar by K. G Subramanyan [Hardcover]

This book is the autobiography of an artist-economist, akin to the self-excavation of an artist. It delves into his childhood town, its culture, and the presence of relatives and close ones. It explores the birth and evolution of his political ideology, his reverence for Gandhi, and the emergence of his artistic self during his youth.

The narrative then moves to Rabindranath Tagore’s Santiniketan, marking a golden phase enriched by the companionship of Nandalal Bose, Benode Behari Mukherjee, and Ramkinkar Baij. A deep awareness of history, the artist’s personal life, artistic inquiries, and self-realization serve as essential embellishments of this book.

This book presents a continuous outline of the creative genius of artist K.G. Subramanyan.
