A sumptuously produced walking tour through historic Mumbai in images and words, featuring the remarkable talents of artist Matt Rota.
A beautifully rendered walking tour through the finest architecture in Mumbai
Specially commissioned illustrations by US artist Matt Rota, who spent months in Mumbai preparing sketches
Succinct and lively text accompanies the illustrated walking tour, giving essential cultural and historical context
Original and luxurious presentation: accordion binding allows the illustrations to be read as continuous narrative; book is protected by a pictorial slipcase
As Khilen Shah states in his foreword to this remarkable book, modern architecture misses the soulfulness and artistry of the buildings and structures of earlier days, which is why it is all the more important to preserve what we have in reality and in art. This book is an attempt to preserve in memory some impressions of Mumbais architectural beauty. It also seeks to correct the image of Mumbai in the minds of both outsiders and those who have lived there, encouraging them to think beyond the citys slums. The book is intended to showcase Mumbai as a city worth seeing and savoring. Artist Matt Rota brings a unique creative style to this endeavor, which perfectly blends the human and cultural element of the city with its architectural beauty. The result is a sumptuous production that would suit a library shelf or a coffee table, whether in India or abroad.
