Goa lost of her greats and true to Goan form, he was largely ignored while
alive. In the last 15 years when I got to know Navelcar, I made it a point to
visit him during my trips to Goa. He lived modestly in his Pomburpa home and
in means below his stature.
Now that Navelcar has passed we will see the usual "remembrances" and
"eulogies" from people who did not make the time for him or support his work
while he was alive. Worse, we will see the vultures descend on his family to
gather his paintings, claiming to be art-lovers.
