Spotlight on Art: Rajhubir Singh

Raghubir Singh

Indian born Raghubir Singh (1942-99) lived and worked in London, Paris and New York. A pioneer of the use of colour in photojournalism, he is particularly known for his images of his country of birth, emphatic colour images that show India as dramatic and exotic, but are never simply sentimental or touristic.

When Singh was 24 he met Henri Cartier-Bresson who was then photographing India, and the master of photojournalism became very much a model for his own photography.

Despite this, Singh chose to work in colour,feeling that this was at the very heart of his view of India.

Spotlight on Art: Mohan Naik

Mohan Naik

In a way Mohan is a hybrid. He thinks and feels like those farmers and tribes where he lives, but has also the education and intellectual means to interpret and to communicate with the modern urban world. These two-dimensional depictions of rural life are authentic and fall into the pre-perspective era of mental evolution.

At that stage,left - right separation is not yet fully developed, which I have verified in various backward areas. Eye angle is smaller than usual(which results in chaotic behaviour on the roads), and many other indicators which fit perfectlyfor this mental disposition.

It's like digging out a fossil and read in it the past.
