Art Gallery of Memories (Volume 2)

Some Artist Luminaries
Karnataka’s celebrated polymath, D V Gundappa brings together in the second volume, episodes from the lives of remarkable exponents of classical music and dance, traditional storytellers, thespians, and connoisseurs; as well as his insightful observations on art, artistes, and connoisseurship. These memorable characters hailing from different corners of the erstwhile Mysore State are from a period that spans from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. These memoirs, written in Kannada in the 1960s, go beyond personal memories and offer us a glimpse into the society of that era. Art Gallery of Memories ranks high among the great works of creative non-fiction in world literature and appears for the first time in English translation.
