Security guards turned him away at the gates of the
Governor's Palace; and Goa would be surrendered days later.
Tavares stayed amidst the turmoil for another 18 months,
leaving for East Africa in 1963. He has since returned
only through his thoughts, visions and memories. This exile
has been the muse for much of his awe-inspiring collection
of paintings in the Surrealist tradition and other styles,
drawings, sculptures and prints.
