A Book is imagination put into words. A writer may imagine his words in pictures before he writes a book.

Art is imagination put into pictures. An artist often conceptualizes his work in words before he paints it. Books begin with words but as we read they generate imagery in our minds. As we look at a work of art we try to put together words to understand it.

Discover how artists interpreted this concept as they worked towards this show – some creating works of art based on Kalidasa’s Shakuntalam, The Mahabharata or rural fork-lores while for some it was a starting point of an installation. Essentially, works have been selected for their narrative or story telling content or where they show an interesting connection with books.
