Krishna’S Cosmos the Creativity of an Artist, Sculptor & Teacher (Hardcover)  | Released: 2003

Krishna Reddy worked a revolution in printmaking by discovering the method of printing numerous colours from a single metal plate. Experiments in the possibilities of simultaneous colour printing remained unpredictable until Krishna analysed the oil contents of inks and effected ways of controlling that. The impact was a reliable viscosity print: graphic artists could now work with the intensity of tones and range of colours in a single print.That, along with the spirituality of his art, makes Krishna Reddy a legend in his lifetime. Santiniketan is only one of 250 universities to have him as an artist in residence. A museum in Bangalore devotes a wing to his prints. Paris and London, Ljubljana and Venice, Australia and Argentina, Morocco and China, biennales and triennales boast his retrospectives. Solo shows, multiple workshops, lectures, publications, portfolios�Krishna Reddy�s life is buzzing with activity. For Krishna, it is not enough to produce his art; one is responsible for sharing one�s knowledge, too.This book is an attempt to portray this artist with a message. It is a study in the creativity of a master.With essays on Krishna Reddy�s art by S.W. Hayter, Robert Blackburn, Richard Batholomew and Amitav Ghosh.
