Nearly 50 years after his death, the superb + unique modernist painter Angelo da Fonseca has made it to the cover of Art India, the country's most prestigious art publication.
The groundbreaking cover story by Rupert Arrowsmith (which I wrote about here http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/How-the-Goan-lost-his-art-The-Angelo-da-Fonseca-chapter/articleshow/40713597.cms) is now available via PDF on the author's personal website: http://rupertarrowsmith.com/writing.html Also available for download for the first time is Arrowsmith's utterly brilliant first book, 'Modernism and the Museum: Asian, African and Pacific Art and the London Avant Garde' which demosntrates that "iconic figures like the sculptor Jacob Epstein, the poet Ezra Pound, the novelist DH Lawrence and the philosopher TE Hulme derived many of their ideas from the visual cultures of Asia, Africa and the Pacific"... Highly, highly recommended!
