Dilip Chitre
The Reasoning Vision: Jehangir Sabavala‘s Painterly Universe



Dilip Chitre, The Reasoning Vision: Jehangir Sabavala's Painterly Universe, New Delhi: Tata McGraw-Hill Publishing, 1980

72 pages with 44 plates and a tipped-in frontispiece; original hardback with fine dust jacket
13.25 x 10.75 in (34 x 27 cm)

A landmark monograph on the distinguished Indian modernist Jehangir Sabavala, authored by renowned poet and critic Dilip Chitre. The Reasoning Vision is both a scholarly and poetic exploration of Sabavala’s contemplative, structured, and luminous painterly universe. It situates his practice within the larger currents of 20th-century modernism while also acknowledging his distinct aesthetic rooted in solitude, order, and light.

Lavishly illustrated with full-page colour reproductions, preparatory sketches, and archival images, the book also includes detailed commentary on Sabavala’s artistic techniques, thematic concerns, and philosophical underpinnings.

Now out of print, this is the first and most authoritative critical study on Sabavala. A foundational reference for collectors and scholars of Indian modern art.
