Born in Jhelum in undivided India, he lost his hearing in a near-fatal childhood accident. Yet, rather than confining him to silence, this profound adversity became the crucible for a lifelong, relentless search for artistic form and expressive power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eFrom his foundational training at the Mayo School of Arts in Lahore to his formative years in Mexico under the direct mentorship of legendary muralists Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and his eventual return to a newly independent India, Gujral forged a creative practice that was fiercely independent, deeply personal, and unflinchingly attuned to the political and human landscape of his time. First published in 1997, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"430\"\u003eA Brush with Life\u003c\/i\u003e remains an unsparing, profoundly moving account of an artist navigating trauma, historic upheaval, and constant reinvention. Reissued to mark his centenary with a new foreword by Mohit Gujral and the classic introduction by Khushwant Singh, this centennial edition is a breathtaking portrait of a man who turned silence into vision and creation into an act of supreme courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhy this book is a must-have:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCentenary Collector's Edition:\u003c\/b\u003e Reissued to celebrate the 100th anniversary of one of India's most iconic artistic legends, featuring exclusive new introductory material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExtraordinary Life Story:\u003c\/b\u003e Chronicles Gujral's survival of near-tragedy, his global artistic journey across Lahore, Mexico, and India, and his encounters with twentieth-century masters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMultidisciplinary Genius:\u003c\/b\u003e Offers rare insight into the mind behind some of India’s most iconic paintings, sculptures, and architectural wonders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEssential Non-Fiction \u0026amp; Art History:\u003c\/b\u003e A must-read for art lovers, historians, creators, and anyone inspired by triumph over physical and historical adversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eWitness how silence became a masterpiece.
