Patricia Clare Angadi (née Fell-Clark, 23 September 1914 – 26 June 2001) was a British portrait painter and novelist, perhaps best remembered for introducing the Beatles to Ravi Shankar.
[2] In 1939, at the age of 25, and already enjoying some success as a portrait painter, she was walking along London's Oxford Street when she saw Ayana Deva Angadi (1903–1993), an aspiring Indian writer and Trotskyist intellectual.
She continued to paint, including portraits of Yehudi Menuhin and her friends Barbara Castle and Fenner Brockway.
[1] In 1965, the Angadis attended a recording session for the Beatles' song "Norwegian Wood", where Patricia sketched John Lennon and George Harrison at work.
[1] The couple "separated amicably" in 1970, and her husband returned to India, and she lived in a house in Hampstead's Flask Walk.
