This legendary figure of the Warli tribe (Maharashtra, India) was one of those artists – or authors, as Dubuffet would have said – like Bill Traylor or Frédéric Bruly-Bouabré, who open our eyes to the richness and diversity of our cultures. Abandoned by his family at a young age, Jivya Soma Mashe took refuge in drawing and embraced the pictorial traditions of his community, later going on to develop a personal style that would earn him the admiration first of his loved ones, then that of regional, national and international authorities.
