Self-taught painter Lalitha Lajmi (1932–2023) was born in Kolkata, India, into a family with a keen interest in the arts, yet her artistic fervor was nonetheless limited by her circumstances.

In this first critical volume and biography of the artist, author Skye Arundhati-Thomas delves into Lajmi’s archives, papers, letters, and sketchbooks in pursuit of clues about the artist’s character. Arundhati-Thomas also reveals the critical role that psychoanalysis played in the evolution of Lajmi’s art into the realm of the conceptual and, specifically, a distinctly situated form of autoethnography.
