We are thrilled to welcome Anagh Banerjee to the staff of the MFA Illustration as Visual Essay program. A graduate of the program, Anagh returns as our much needed part time Studio Assistant. Anagh is a visual artist, originally from Bombay, India and currently based in Brooklyn. He graduated from the MFA Illustration as Visual Essay program at SVA in 2018. His practice is rooted in printmaking with a particular focus on woodcuts. His work has been featured in major publications like The New Yorker, The New York Times, Penguin Random House, and the Folio Society. His work has also been showcased at venues such as the Brooklyn Public Library, the Evanston Art Center in Illinois, and SVA. Anagh continues to work on a deeply personal project about the Partition of the Indian subcontinent, which began as his MFA thesis. This ongoing series of woodblock prints documents first-hand accounts of the Partition, blending history and personal storytelling. #sva #svanyc #svanycalumni #mfaillustrationasvisualessaysva #art

GITANJALI – Rabindranath Tagore

„The repose of the sun-embroidered green gloom slowly spread over my heart. I forgot for what I had travelled, and I surrendered my mind without struggle to the maze of shadows and songs.
At last, when I woke from my slumber and opened my eyes, I saw thee standing by me, flooding my sleep with thy smile. How I had feared that the path was long and wearisome, and the struggle to reach thee was hard!“ (48)

He held –

„Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of my life; the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light.
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion.
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure. The heaven’s river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad.“ (57)

– immense beauty.

„He whom I enclose with my name is weeping in this dungeon. I am ever busy building this wall all around; and as this wall goes up into the sky day by day I lose sight of my true being in its dark shadow.
I take pride in this great wall, and I plaster it with dust and sand lest a least hole should be left in this name; and for all the care I take I lose sight of my true being.“ (29)

He overthrew hopelessness –

„I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky and I lift my eager eyes to thy face.
I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can vanish – no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through tears.
Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean, plunge it into the deepest fullness. Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch in the allness of the universe.“ (87)

– and reclaimed death.

Always a thrill to be in the presence and resonance of these magical instruments!

It was my first time listening to the Sarangi live and I really felt it when @officialkamalsabri explained how this instrument comes closest to the human voice.
I am now familiar with drawing both @mir_tabla and @shouvik.mukherjee_sitar and I could keep drawing their rhythmic hands again and again!
Neha's Bhava accompanying the sarangi was the hardest to capture- fleeting delicate gestures!! ufff

How lucky that I get to witness this season after season, among rapt audiences, in my friends' home ❤️ @pupulbisht @ninaadkulkarni
