Amar Katha by Rabin Mondal [Hardcover]

"I am aware that my work is not visually pleasing in the conventional sense. As a result, whether my artistic existence is a success or failure in the broader public consciousness is beyond my calculations. However, I believe that every artist's work must have an autobiographical element - if it does not, it feels like dishonesty to me. Therefore, I have little time to dwell on success or failure."

This personal reflection by artist Rabin Mondal was first published in 1992 in the literary edition of Desh magazine. From childhood, he was naturally introverted, and in narrating his own life, he remains direct and candid.
