A canvas most large



The walls of India would make fine art if they were chopped up and displayed in a posh western gallery. People would ooh and ahh over "the luscious textures" and "bold use of colour," the "hints of the figurative" and the "post-modern comment on the impermenence of commerce." They are the work of many hands, and many brushes, of many colliding purposes, and of India's heat and dust and bleaching sunlight and cleansing rains. In fact, I might take lots of wall photos and test this theory on return: You are invited to an exclusive viewing of "A Canvas Most Large - The Walls of India."
