Vasudeo Santu Gaitonde: Sonata Of SolitudeAuthor: Meera Menezes

The first book in the series emerges as a biography of the modern master Gaitonde by eminent art scholar and author Meera Menezes. In Vasudeo Gaitonde - The Man and the Myth, as the title of the text suggests, the research is presented as the praxis of his life. Stories known and unknown since his childhood to the period of his formative years in J.J., through his struggles to keep up expenses as well as ambitions until leaving his family to permanently settle in Delhi are well addressed and narrated here. Meera, through her biography, effaces the existing myths about the artist and successfully attempts to produce a factual document on his life and journey, keeping
the emotive anecdotes at bay while vehemently affirming the facts. The document presents a history rather than a general story.
