This week in Daak: 1. Ladies Playing Cards by B Prabha 2. The Female of the Species by Gauri Deshpande 3. Poetic Reminders 1. Ladies Playing Cards by B Prabha, 1985 Although B Prabha’s art primarily dealt with the “trauma and tragedy of women” (in her own words), this is a rare painting which deals with the lighter aspects of womanhood — the easy camaraderie of female friendships, shared confidences, the joy of play, and much more. For some reason, we often share this painting around Diwali. For us, this image of a group of women dressed in beautiful shades of blue and playing cards always evokes a sense of celebration.
