The first book in the series emerges as a biography of the modern master V.S Gaitonde by eminent art scholar and author MeeraMenezes. In VasudeoGaitonde - The Man and the Myth, as the title of the text suggests, the research is presented as the praxis of his life. Stories known and unknown since his childhood to the period of his formative years in J.J. School of Art through his struggles to keep up expenses as well as ambitions until leaving his family to permanently settle in Delhi are well addressed and narrated here. Meera, through his biography, effaces the existing myths about the artist and successfully attempts to produce a factual document on his life and journey, keepingthe emotive anecdotes at bay while vehemently affirming the facts. The document presents a history rather than a general story.
