Event Description : BOOK READING "Narratives for Indian Modernity: The Aesthetics of Brij Mohan Anand" By author Ms Aditi Anand

The book is based on the life and work of the late painter and illustrator Brij Mohan Anand (1928-1986). It follows the rediscovery and painstaking restoration of much of Anand’s oeuvre, the location of previously overlooked archival and family records and interviews with surviving peers and friends. In doing so, it offers a critical perspective on an outsider artist who eschewed the attractions of a commercial or overseas career, but who nevertheless kept witness to India’s rebirth as a sovereign nation and ultimately, its emergence as a regional superpower.
Aditi Anand is the co-author of the book, Narratives for Indian Modernity: The Aesthetic of Brij Mohan Anand. She has spent the last four years doing extensive research on the artist, which has formed the basis of the book and an an ongoing project to promote his work in India and abroad.

Aditi is a writer and trained lawyer. Her professional interest lies in contributing to the genres of both historical biography and narrative non- fiction as part of a cultural retelling of significant historical and contemporary events. She is currently researching a legal biography based on the life of an eminent jurist.

Background : Under the Outreach initiative the IGNCA Book Circle has a monthly event held on the fourth Thursday of every month.
