Against the Current by Donald A. Messerschmidt
The Life of Lain Singh Bangdel
Bangdel's life was infused with a deep understanding and empathy for the oppressed of his native land. His artistic works served both to interpret and to preserve the rich ancient culture of his country.The work of Lain Singh Bangdel (1912-2002) was always infused with a deep empathy for the downtrodden of his native Nepal, as well as a burning desire both to interpret and to preserve the rich ancient culture of his country. In his lifelong career as a painter, he achieved lasting acclaim as an innovator and leader in the field of modern abstract art. His novels, all written relatively early in life, altered the course of Nepali literature with their then revolutionary depiction of the nation's downtrodden. As an art historian and expert on sculpture, Bangdel toiled tirelessly to document, clarify and preserve the rapidly vanishing relics of Nepal's ancient past. An inspiring tribute to a true 'renaissance man' of Nepal, written by a long time friend. |
