Through recurring motifs—the bull, the falling figure, the falling bird, the diagonal, and his radical reimagining of Kali and Mahishasura—he forged a body of work at once deeply personal and profoundly universal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGrowing out of a landmark retrospective at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi, this volume traces the evolution of that language across every medium Mehta worked in—painting, drawing, sculpture, and his rarely seen 1970 directorial short film \u003ci\u003eKoodal\u003c\/i\u003e.
