Francis Newton Souza
[Click to enlarge]
22 Oct: The Spectator (UK). FN Souza
is an interesting case in point.
Indian-born, he came to England in
1949, subsequently living in New
York and India. His particular brand
of spiky and distorted figuration
has its admirers, but its appeal has
remained fairly restricted until
now. In the new hang at Tate
Britain, Souza is designated an
'important artist' and accorded a
whole room, and the NPG, ever ready
to follow the Tate's lead, has
included him in this show. A shame
that Souza didn't live to see his
promotion: for one of his political
interests it would have been highly
amusing.
The photograph showing Souza with
his daughter, Anya, was taken in
Souza’s former apartment in
Hampstead, London.

[Can we get a road named after Souza in Saligao? He grew up in this
village. Very near to Green Bar. -FN]
