Natvar Bhavsar: Poetics of Color

Description

The first book to present the works of one of India's most interesting figurative artists. Born in India in 1934, Bhavsar moved to the U.S. in the early 1960s, where he became an influential member of the New York School of Colorists through his use of thrown and sifted pigment. Bhavsar's monumental works are created using dry pigment released onto the canvas in patterns that parallel the movements of the artist's body as he works.
