About the Book

Somnath Hore’s (1921-2006) body of work is of a very special pain and torment. The humanity and sheer brilliance of his work, which infuse the essays contained in this volume, may be traced in some measure to the conditions of the epoch he lived in. The essays by different eminent writers here reflect his talent and enduring love to humanity. Each of the following rubrics considers his great career, in order that moves not necessarily from the simplest to the most complex, and among the perspicacious lovers of the equivalence, in the form of this book, between the visible and its nominal inverse. Hore to be sure, often trafficked in the violence of a depicted scene; spectacles of bestiality, mutilations and horror. But these are overly facile detours, detours that the artist himself judged severely and condemned. His refusal in his work to employ fixed categories, such as genres, to explain human action both at the individual and social level also rose from his personal experiences- it is a violence of reaction and expression, a scream rent from terror; a residual vision he witnessed. Over his six decades as a consummate painter, printmaker-sculptor, Somnath Hore steadfastly appreciated the elegance and fact of using limited means to send complex signals. In this sense he was an idealist, attempting to regain the freshness, craft and intellect of early modernism, its beliefs and ideals. Somnath Hore took up the philosophy of the ‘wound’ as a motif in his art. He made pictorial and aesthetic sense out of a personal despair and its experience of a torn and injured world depicting a kind of a social realism. And yet the energy, intensity, romanticism and sensuousness of the way they are pressed together provide a celebratory transcendence of the subject matter. Along with the modernist techniques he foregrounded other devices to celebrate the surface (his own deployment of the patina), inexorably bringing to life the aftermath of human disaster.
