Art Critic Janeita Singh & Niyogi Books Wins Oxford Bookstore Prize

Art critic and academician Janeita Singh, along with Niyogi Books, has been awarded the third Oxford Bookstore Art Book Prize for their work “F.N. Souza: The Archetypal Artist.”

The winning book was selected from five shortlisted entries, with the recipients receiving a trophy, certificate, and prize money of Rs 1 lakh during a ceremony held at the Norwegian Embassy on Wednesday.

Upon receiving the honor, Singh reflected on the recognition: “To be loved is to be seen and known. The critical study on Souza’s life and art was a dance with provocation, heresy, and beauty. Now that ‘F.N. Souza: The Archetypal Artist’ lounges on hallowed shelves – how delicious, then, to be crowned by the Oxford Bookstore Art Book Prize in the homeland. That the book resonates with readers and institutions alike is a reward beyond the prize.”
