The painting that inspired the cover of Death of a Modernist.

The artwork, Baby Ganesha (2000), is an acrylic on canvas by Aditya Prakash (1924–2008), a first-generation Indian modernist whose work moved across art, architecture, design and planning.

Its playful forms, bold colours and expressive lines became the visual inspiration behind the cover of Death of a Modernist, written by his son, Vikramaditya Prakash.

Part of Altrim’s MINĪ Collection, Death of a Modernist is an intimate and deeply personal account of Aditya Prakash as a father, architect, artist and man of letters. Set against the backdrop of Chandigarh, the book explores the intertwined ideas of death, life, memory and inheritance.

A story of a father.
A memory of a life.
And an artwork that found its way onto the cover.

Discover Death of a Modernist and explore the world behind its pages.
