Everyone talks about his revolutionary style, but in my books, the main reason is the auction houses creating a brand. They sell the story of the "tormented genius," not just the painting. Studying art history here, I see how colonial museums first made "Western genius" the global standard. My own project on the Kalighat patua painters—who narrated epic stories for pennies—shows me that real value gets decided by who holds the gavel, not the brush.
