F N Souza
(1924 - 2002)

Untitled



Souza held a fascination for erotica and the female body from a young age. He was expelled from the Sir J. J. School of Arts in 1945 for 'pornographic' drawings, but continued, undeterred, to explore his love and fear of the female figure. A large body of his works are unabashedly erotic; women are portrayed with exaggerated features and appear aggressive. Others appear demure, but Souza continued rendering them from a voyeuristic viewpoint.
