শুভেন্দু দাশগুপ্ত
দেওয়াল লেখার আত্মকথা‘একটা দেওয়াল। দেওয়ালের সামনে দাঁড়িয়ে আছি আমি, আমরা, কমরেড, পার্টি। দেওয়ালে শাদা রঙের পোঁচ লাগিয়ে দিচ্ছে আমাদের বিশ্বাস। গুঁড়ো নীলে সুতলি চুবিয়ে লাইন দাগিয়ে দিচ্ছে আমাদের স্বপ্ন। রঙ-ভরা টিন ধরে থাকছে আমাদের রাজনীতি। এগিয়ে দিচ্ছে আমাদের লড়াই। দেওয়ালে আঁকা হয়ে যাচ্ছে আমাদের মুক্তাঞ্চল। আমাদের দেশ। ওয়ালিং শেষ করে মুঠো-করা হাত তুলে বলে উঠলাম, লাল সেলাম।’ এই ভাবে সত্তরের আগুন-ঝরা দিনে দেওয়াল লেখার মন মেজাজ ভয় উদ্বেগ আনন্দ থেকে তার রীতি প্রকরণ রাজনীতি ও নন্দনতত্ত্ব পর্যন্ত বিশদ করেছেন লেখক। এ তাঁর একার আত্মকথা নয় তাই, হয়ে উঠেছে সময়েরই সচিত্র আত্মকথন।

ANANDA K COOMARASWAMY
The Indian CraftsmanClosely associated with the Tagore family of Jorasanko and the Swadeshi movement of Bengal, this eminent art-historian of the early twentieth century did not discriminate the art of the rural folk with the great religious arts of the rich and urban people. He saw it as conscientious expression of both the artisans as well as the civilization that nurtured it. Creativity of an ordinary earthen pot was equally valuable to him as with that of a gigantic temple. This is a rare and important book by Coomaraswamy who is regarded as the successor of Blake, Ruskin and William Morris in aesthetic point of view.
