My book at the “World Book Fair”
10-18 Feb 2024

1-9 Feb 2025

*MOG SUNDAYS*
This is a conversation between Author & Critic Janeita Singh and Art Historian & Curator Lina Vincent on the book, the illustrated monograph,
FN Souza: The Archetypal Artist
Niyogi Books Tultul Niyogi
based on a 12-year research project, that began in 2012. The magnetism of the primordial imagery in Souza’s art “hooked me” says Janeita Singh.
“Janeita brings together fascina­ting threads of philosophical, religious and artistic practices in her essays that let us slowly soak in the multiple layers of Souza’s art”. She is an academician turned literary-art critic. Her writing based on the belief, ‘critic as an artist’ generates new perspectives of ways of seeing.
Lina Vincent is an independent art historian & curator. Since 2009, the focus areas of her research have extended to projects with arts education, printmaking history and practice, the documentation of living traditions and folk arts in India, and environmental consciousness in the arts.

Shout out to Subodh Kerkar & the MOG team for hosting my book talk. & thanks to special efforts by Lina Vincent Nilankur Das Tultul Niyogi Trisha Niyogi for the success of the event.

Book launch & discussion at the Goa Art & Lit Festival

After years of correspondence, we finally met. Fascinating to be at the top-notch auction house of the arts
What a delight !!!

With the former Artistic Director of the Indo-American Art Council, the legend, the one and only, Aroon Shivdasani, at her beautiful home in Manhattan, York Ave. A soft book launch of The Archetypal Artist 😊

Registered researcher at the Library of congress, The Frick Art Research library and The metropolitan Museum of Art.

Smithsonian Nation museum of Asian Art

Washington DC besides being ceremonial and stately is a museum haven. I could stay here for months and go to a museum every morning and be glad for it 😊
The Smithsonian Institution, the largest museum complex in the world comprises 21 museums, education and research centers. 11 of these are on the National Mall, the National Museum of Asian Art being one of them.

Met up with my book at The Met 😊

Savoured thought-provoking exhibitions by May Ray and John Wilson and devoured the sculptures by Jeffrey Gibson ( Facade). Running out of time, but couldn’t leave without visiting the sculpture gallery, sculpted masterpieces of the classical period at the museum and those exquisite forms from India.

FN Souza; The Archetypal Artist at Frankfurt Book Fair 16-20 Oct 2024

The nation’s (the US) first university is home to my book. Housed at the UPenn libraries flanked by swaying tall trees, dappled sunlight and splendid architecture, got my heart beating to a metronome
Delighted to meet the wonderful faculty; the talk at the South Asian Centre was interactive and expansive. The support, kindness and interest made my years of research and writing seem sooooo worthwhile!!!

 Princeton University & the interlude with The Archetypal Artist on the shelves of the Marquand library, 29 August 2025

Cheerful bonhomie over lunch! engaging conversation at the MoMA cafe; the awesome foursome in the photo, it’s the 3 of us. The curator had to leave, pressing work summons

At the Library of Congress, Washington DC,

the golden gilded corridor leading to the Asian Library is open exclusively to members of the Congress & Researchers of the Asian Library 😊😘
While the members meeting room is spectacular, the Asian library is a beautiful haven combining dazzling architecture, the ornate embellishments and rich collection of books, rare books and manuscripts.
A great rendezvous with the Archetypal Artist in the splendid setting
