I’m very pleased to announce that my second book, Nainsukh, the Film , has been published by the Museum Rietberg Zürich , under its Artibus Asiae imprint, marking its first ever film-related publication. The book is a monographic exploration of Nainsukh  (2010), a semi-biographical film on the eponymous eighteenth-century miniature painter, produced by Eberhard Fischer and directed by Amit Dutta.

Partly an art-historical survey of the development of Pahari painting in Northern India and partly a stylistic, thematic and film-historical investigation into Nainsukh , this compact volume is exquisitely designed and illustrated with hundreds of gorgeous paintings, film stills and photographs from the production. It is a companion piece of sorts to my first book, Modernism by Other Means: The Films of Amit Dutta   (2021, Lightcube). Why don’t you pick up both?!
