Before any sound critical framework could be evolved around the artist Jangarh Singh Shyam as the originator of an extraordinary individualistic idiom of painting, ruthless market forces came to dominate his art, claiming Jangarh himself as their first casualty. In 2001, while trying to finish a commission at a museum in Japan, Jangarh committed suicide. He was 40. This book is a first attempt to construct an equitable account of his prodigious body of work that founded his legacy. As a critical analysis of his oeuvre, this book also serves as a model framework for the study of a contemporary individual folk and tribal artist.
