Jangarh Singh Shyam’s work gives life and vision to a dynamic world of various myths and legends that are animated by the animals, birds, mountains and deities of his village, Patangarh, and of his community, the Gond tribe. Jangarh belonged to the Pardhan sect of the Gond tribe who are priests and storytellers entrusted with the very important task of carrying on the traditions and history of the Gond kings and keeping the many traditions and rituals alive through their music and songs. The songs and tales stayed in the artist’s mind and found a vivid representation on his canvas. Jangarh was able to recreate the textures and patterns of the walls on which traditional Gond art is painted. It was only after the artist was discovered at a young age by J. Swaminathan, that he transferred his art to canvas and paper, modernising the Gond art form. This book is a tribute to the Master of Gond Art.
