    • Synopsis
    • The Poetics of Color: Natvar Bhavsar, An Artist's Journey opens in the remote village of Gothava in Gujarat, India. The film follows painter Natvar Bhavsar as he journeys to New York City, the very nerve center of the art world. An immigrant in a new city, Bhavsar settles into a loft in SoHo, falls in love, and comes of age as an artist in the turbulent 1960s. The central theme of the film is the multicultural nature of Bhavsar's work and how that has influenced the trajectory of his career. Although it is common today for artists to work cross-culturally and find critical and commercial acceptance outside their own spheres of origin, Bhavsar was a pioneer who paved the way for subsequent generations of artists. This documentary is not only a history of one contemporary artist's journey, but a celebration of the Asian contribution to American contemporary art.The film explores the life and work of the noted Indian painter Natvar Bhavsar.
