A beautifully produced book, focusing on the Bangla artist Jamini Roy, that explores his growth as an artist and how the art he saw around him shaped his style. The text is written simply and evocatively, and the design of the book, with many cut-throughs, pull-outs and flaps, offers multiple ways of engaging with text and image. The activities at the end of the book are well-designed and encourage ways of understanding his style more practically.
Abanindranath’s House of Stories
This is a beautifully designed and illustrated book on Abanindranath Tagore’s art. This is how books on art should be – playful, and yet encouraging readers to become thoughtful creators. Elements of Tagore’s art, his imagination, and his childhood are all highlighted using different colour palettes and techniques. Readers will delight in playing with the book as they look through windows, peep into rooms and join baithaks. The book itself is a work of art!
