Publisher Description: "To earn more money, we worked in people's houses, washing their dishes. "Following My Paint Brush" is the story of Dulari Devi, a domestic helper who went on to become an artist in the Mithila style of folk painting from Bihar, eastern India. Dulari is from a community of fisherfolk whose occupation is river-fishing. Used to a life of hard and relentless labor, she discovered painting while working as a domestic helper in an artist's house. Dulari learned by doing, and very soon came to adapt artistic rules and conventions to her own expressive needs. "Following My Paint Brush" narrates Dulari's momentous journey from a worker who knew no rest to an artist who is willing to go where her imagination leads her. This is Dulari's first book. |
