Published as part of the Lalit Kala Akademi’s Contemporary Artists Series, this concise monograph offers an early and insightful overview of Jehangir Sabavala’s artistic practice. Authored by Pria Devi, the volume surveys Sabavala’s distinctive visual language—marked by its formal discipline, lyrical quietude, and luminous palette—positioning him among the most contemplative voices in Indian modern art.

The publication includes critical text, a brief biography, and reproductions of key works, including colour and monochrome plates, some from important mid-career exhibitions. A useful resource for understanding Sabavala’s approach to landscape, solitude, and spatial harmony.

This early publication is now out of print and forms an essential addition to any comprehensive collection of Sabavala literature or mid-20th century Indian art documentation.
