Sayed Haider Raza is widely recognised as one of the masters of modern Indian art. Living in Paris for more than half a century, he has combined in his art the French sens la plastique and a deeply rooted Indian vision. From painting landscapes and cityscapes, he has moved to explore ‘inscapes’, the inner reality through the inner eyes.
Raza: A Life in Art is the most comprehensive book to appear on the long life and the rich artistic career of a great master. Written and edited by the eminent poet-critic and art-lover Ashok Vajpeyi, the book carries nearly 100 colour-reproductions of his paintings covering a period of sixty years, plus nearly 50 sketches, drawings etc. Besides, materials written in his own hand by Raza in English, Hindi and French, some rare photographs, including those of his first school in a village and the school register, press-clippings etc. would be appearing for the first time in this book. It contains a long new essay ’The Passionate Grace’, an essay by noted art-critic Yashodhara Dalmia and extracts from many French, German, Indian critics, Raza’s statements about his art and a lot of comprehensive up to date information about his life and art.
