Mario Special
Its a tribute to my friend Mario, said Gerard da Cunha,an architect and the owner of independent publishing house,Architecture Autonomous. Da Cunhas stall in Hall No. 2 is set up with the sole purpose of commemorating famous Indian cartoonist Mario de Miranda,who passed away in December last year. The stall displayed a collage of illustrated books with pictorial descriptions,cartoon compositions and graphic compilations by the late cartoonist. Some titles in the collection include Marios Goa,Marios Travels and Inside Goa with Marios hometown,Goa,as the common thread. The price of books ranged between Rs. 395 and Rs. 2,700. Our aim is to celebrate the precious work of Mario through this platform. Its my tribute to my friend Mario, said Da Cunha,adding that he also owns the copyright of all four personal dairies of Mario de Miranda,and plans to publish some of their contents.
A Word on Art
Unlike many of his contemporaries who moved to other cities in India and the world,Malayali artist CN Karunakaran chose to live in his home state. In the early 70s,he established Chitrakootam,one of the first private galleries in Ernakulam. Years later,he is known not just for his figurative work but also for raising awareness about art in the region. Karunakaran is in Delhi for the launch of his book,Mythic Imagination (Chintha Publishers,Rs 3,000),which chronicles his work from the 50s to the present. The book has no theme in particular,and features the best of my paintings. It includes my work on literature,nature and celestial experiences, said the 74-year-old artist. Artist Arpana Caur and TKA Nair from the PMO were present at the launch on Monday.
