THE CENTENNIAL

Souza’s relentless pursuit of new ideas and techniques is a testament to his innovative spirit.

As we celebrate the centenary of Francis Newton Souza, we reflect on a hundred years marked by the indelible influence of one of India’s most seminal modernists. Souza’s journey, emerging from the vibrant landscape of Goa, was characterised by a unique interplay between the sensuality of Indian art and the stringent doctrines of his Roman Catholic upbringing. This tension, what Souza referred to as the dichotomy of ‘sin and sensuality,’ profoundly shaped his artistic vision, resulting in works as provocative as they are poignant.
