Details
“And perspective is imperative to landscape painting. It’s a view, and you can’t view anything without perspective, that is, proportion and the relative orders of magnitude, even if you see with your mind’s eye”- F N Souza, Red Trees, Black Skies, Sunday Review TOI, 4th June 1989
The Souza landscapes exhibit a preconceived order; the visual logic of the eye is dominated by the discipline of the hand: a preference for what comes after meditation over the improvization and form over action - K.B. Goel
