About The Book

The Afterlife of Silence is the first-ever comprehensive book on the still life of one of India's leading modern painters. The book takes a close look at the essentials of the European tradition of still life painting and argues that Jogen Chowdhury's works, while sharing certain common concerns of the tradition also differ significantly from it, and are firmly rooted in his indigenous situatedness. It explores how, in his still life, unregarded, everyday objects are irradiated with new life and unique relational possibilities. It also examines how his still life oscillate between life and death, between stillness and animation, a movement that conceptually underpins the cycle of nature and lived life, and how moments of silence and stillness acquire afterlives with trails of significations that often go beyond the context of particular artworks.
