The Anthology presents the writings from 1956 to 1967 by Charles Fabri (1899-1968) a
Hungarian-born art critic. The study of Fabri's viewpoints from the mid-20th century draws
attention to the East-West modernism paradigm. It lays a foundation for further exploration and
research of a 'dialogue' between India and central Europe from the 1950s to the 1960s. In his
critical and well-informed articles Fabri explored the ongoing transformations in art and
architecture and the intense modernization of India that came with it. This journey showcases a
fascinating trajectory from a background in archaeology - to critiquing dance theatre
architecture and other arts. The book also comprises of selected articles by Ratna Fabri
(Interior Designer and Charles Fabri's wife) and Obtituaries of both Charles & Ratna from
Design (1957-1988) journal.
