FN Souza: The Archetypal Artist’

This is a conversation between Author Janeita Singh and Art Historian & Curator Lina Vincent on the book, the illustrated monograph, ‘FN Souza: The Archetypal Artist’ – based on a 12-year research project, that began in 2012. The magnetism of the primordial imagery in Souza’s art “hooked me” says Janeita Singh, the author.

Janeita brings together fascina­ting threads of philosophical, religious and artistic practices in her essays that let us slowly soak in the multiple layers of Souza’s art”. She is an academician turned literary-art critic. Her writing based on the belief, ‘critic as an artist’ generates new perspectives of ways of seeing.

Lina Vincent is an independent art historian & curator. Since 2009, the focus areas of her research have extended to projects with arts education, printmaking history and practice, the documentation of living traditions and folk arts in India, and environmental consciousness in the arts.
