Fire and Other Images comprises a selection of prose pieces by Paritosh Sen originally written and published in Bengali and rendered into English here in an attempt to make them available to a wider audience. The pencil sketches that illustrate the narratives were done by the artist for this book. In these vignettes of his past Paritosh Sen evokes a world that we have lost a memory of what has been and gone yet the very act of evocation creates a powerful presence. His family was large enough for him as a child to lose himself in his own vision of the world a vision that has remained with him and is recalled in moments of reflection. It is this vision that he shares with us in the pieces that bring to life memories of his boyhood in Dhaka of his relationship with his father which though distant is deeply imprinted in him of the fire at his father's cremation which he describes in forms and colours that explode in his mind's eye of the death of his mother which he poignantly juxtaposes with the anguish of a mother mongoose separated from her captured babies. Paritosh Sen responds profoundly to the landscape trees plants birds and people that surround him. For him the magnificent Arjuna tree the tree in his village for instance is like a high rise building with a hierarchy among the birds that nestle separately in the various branches of the tree and between them and the snakes and iguanas in its roots. The tree thus becomes a universe in itself. On a lighter note we share his enthusiasm for gourmet meals ranging over a spectrum of cuisine His ability to laugh at himself is the most appealing part of those pieces where the underlying hilarity arises from unexpected encounters with women in unusual situations or with strangers who make incomprehensible demands. Paritosh Sen the artist comes through forcefully in the pieces where he recalls his meetings with Brancusi and Picasso. The description of Brancusi in his studio is a splendid glimpse of a sculptor at work. In his narration of his encounter with Picasso we are made aware of the initial awe that is gradually replaced by a recognition of the immense human qualities that go into the best creativity and of the way in which Picasso epitomized some of these. The artist in Paritosh Sen also surfaces in his stunning description of travelling across the waters at Abu Simbel at dawn. The creativity inspired by a recollection of a past world and of the attempt to comprehend the present is preserved in both his paintings and writings. This connectivity is germane to Paritosh Sen's understanding of himself as a part of the universe and it provides many dimensions to his perceptions. Some enter his consciousness fleetingly and others are more deliberately called forth but they all provide clues to what goes into the making of his articulation as an artist. One of the most impressive among these is his conviction that creativity can only exist in a condition of freedom. Both his painting and his writing are statements that endorse freedom as necessary to creativity and as central to the human experience. 184 pp.…
