The rightful place for an artist, his real world, is a pot of black ink." Colourful, vibrant, yet extremely delicate, Mithila art is primarily done by women living in small rural communities in the State of Bihar. Also known as Madhubani painting, this art form originated from the decorative patterns traced by women on the walls and floors of their homes and community spaces. In his poetic visual memoir, Black: An Artist's Tribute, acclaimed Mithila artist Santosh Kumar Das pays a poignant tribute to the muses that transformed him into an artist - the greatest of them being his mother, along with the other women of the household who practised the tradition. Each card has been screen-printed by hand at Tara Books' sustainable print workshop in Chennai, South India, which employs, trains and nurtures young bookmaking artisans.
