Paintings by Elisabeth
Buschmann |
|
|
The
work of Elisabeth Buschmann reflects the experiences and insights of
her ongoing inner journey. Her search for truth took her to India,
where she lives near Dharamsala in the Himalayan Mountains.
“Nature is innocent . it has no mind and no intellect. We use it
like a mirror to reflect our longings for peace and harmony , which
are part of the inner reality.”

Paintings by S Sobha
Singh |
|
|
I only want to paint beauty and the
goodness of life, which are getting rarer day by day. With me, the
concept of 'Satyam, Shivam Sundaram' becomes 'Sundram, Shivam and
Satyam' (Beauty, Goodness and Truth) in that order.
One of Sobha Singh's Greatest Masterpieces - "Guru Nanak" in the
"Aashirwad" pose. This was created during late 50's. The hand of
Guru Nanak was recreated by a renowned palmist Pundit Agnihotri of
Hamirpur after a thorough study of the 'Janam Patri' of Guru
Nanak |

Alfred Hallett: born 1914 in England, he exhibited
twice at the Royal Academy, London (1937 and 1938) before migrating
to British India in 1940 where he managed a cloth mill in Dhariwal,
Punjab and from where he was able to buy the property on Dharamkot
to pursue his love of painting full-time. Known primarily as a
figure painter, his prolific output of portraits, landscapes and
imaginative religious and abstract oil paintings can be seen today
from Amritsar to New Delhi as well as on walls in Southern England.
A confirmed bachelor all his life, he died in his beloved Dharamkot
studio in 1986, aged 72 |

Paintings by Nicholas
Roerich |
|
|
The pursuit of refinement and beauty
was sacred for Roerich. He believed that although earthly temples
and artifacts may perish, the thought that brings them into
existence does not die but is part of an eternal stream of
consciousness — man's aspirations nourished by his directed will and
by the energy of thought. Finally, he believed that peace on Earth
was a prerequisite to planetary survival and the continuing process
of spiritual evolution, and he exhorted his fellow man to help
achieve that peace by uniting in the common language of Beauty and
Knowledge. Nicholas Roerich died in Kullu on
December 13, 1947. His body was cremated and its ashes buried on a
slope facing the mountains he loved and portrayed in many of his
nearly seven thousand works.

Sculpture is a mean as well as an objective for my
expression. Ranging figurative work to those involving only
abstracts such as light and colour. My sculpture make
the most use of locally available materials. Social commentary
underlined with self depreciating humour has been one of the main
features of my figurative work. Using
light as a material, I have endeavored to explore the relationship
between object and drawing where mass and space is provide a frame
of reference. In all such works I have followed the ancient Indian
tradition of the frontal sculpture. |

I
believe that the best possible way to become a painter is to keep
faith and never gave up. Thus, I always kept myself busy with my colours at every spare time. I strolled through the evening book
market, tried to bargain on selective painting books. I don't
remember having missed a painting exhibition during my stay in
Delhi. In the meantime, I met so many painters and gained lot of
inspirations from their works.

INDIAN
DRAWINGS: |
|
|
16th
to19th century Pahari drawings, done between the
seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, are comparatively calmer,
refined, finely drawn and lyrical. These drawings are among the most
graceful and appealing in Indian painting. Work of the artist
families of Guler and Chamba, chiefly from the eighteenth century,
is remarkable and displays all the best qualifies of Pahari
painting, While the style of these two schools is derived from the
late Mughal paintings, the mood is not; they are gentle, spontaneous
and more lyrical |
