Untitled [A set of two catalogues and a magazine article on F N Souza]

a) Edwin Mullins, The Human and the Divine Predicament: New Paintings by F N Souza, London: Grosvenor Gallery, 1964

13 pages with 11 black and white plates of his works; Softcover, stapled wrappers
8 x 8.25 in (20 x 21 cm)

Published on the occasion of F N Souza’s major solo exhibition at Grosvenor Gallery, London, from 31 March to 25 April 1964, this catalogue features an extended essay by art critic Edwin Mullins, who explores Souza’s continuing engagement with themes of religious iconography, sexuality, violence, and human fallibility. The essay provides an in-depth critical lens on Souza’s powerful and provocative visual language during this significant phase of his London period.

The publication is illustrated with black-and-white reproductions of Souza’s recent paintings, reflecting his bold handling of line, distortion, and symbolism. The title itself encapsulates Souza’s existential exploration of man’s place in a fractured spiritual and social world.

A rare and important exhibition document capturing Souza’s evolving practice and critical reception in post-war Britain. Increasingly scarce in collectible condition.
