520 _aContributions by Jyoti Bhatt, Pherozeshah Rustomji Mehta. Translation by Vasvi Oza. Modernism/ Murderism brings together, for the first time in English, a forgotten debate on Modern Art that took place in the pages of the Gujarati-language periodical Kumar in the years between 1959 and 1964. This debate featured on one side Pherozeshah Rustomji Mehta, a writer and art connoisseur from Karachi, and on the other Jyoti Bhatt, a young artist and recent graduate from the Faculty of Fine Arts, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. This debate took place across six articles published in Kumar and fires were further fuelled by the numerous readers who chose to respond to these articles.
