More about the book

This book brings together, for the first time in English, a forgotten debate on modern art that took place in the pages of the Gujarati-language periodical Kumar in the years between 1959 and 1964. The debate was between Pherozeshah Rustomji Mehta who defended the timeless and traditional values of art and Jyoti Bhatt who argued that modern art was no stranger to these values and had much in common with them. Six published articles and numerous readers responses to the articles from the 'Readers Write' column of the periodical are reproduced. -- Editor's note.
