We scarcely think at all of the present, or if we do it, it is only to borrow the light which it throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present we use as means; the future alone is our end. Thus we never live, we only hope to die.” Blaise Pascal A unique example of Pyne’s Colour Palette being experimented with in 1987; extracted from a page from his private diaries A very rare and prized expression of Ganesh Pyne’s Studio, a virtual home for the reclusive artist Detailed Artist Biography osianama.com/artists/ ganesh-pyne
