The first comprehensive monograph on Francis Newton Souza, written by British art critic Edwin Mullins, published at a time when Souza was establishing himself as a powerful voice in post-war British and modern Indian art. This publication provides critical analysis of Souza’s early influences, his role in founding the Progressive Artists’ Group in Bombay, and his later works produced in London.

The volume is illustrated with numerous black-and-white plates reproducing the artist’s paintings, drawings, and sketches, offering visual insight into Souza’s evolving style—marked by expressive figuration, eroticism, and religious iconography.

The essay extends to 45 pages, and there is a 3-page list of collectors at the end.
