Bindu Space And Time In Raza’S Vision
Discover the profound journey through space and time with Raza’s Vision in this captivating exploration of S.H. Raza’s artistry. The concept of the Bindu serves as a central motif in Raza’s body of work, evolving in meaning and significance since his introduction to it at just eight years old in his village of Kakaiya, Madhya Pradesh. This primordial symbol has richly informed his artistic expression over the decades.
Through a deep connection to nature, Raza sought to unravel the fundamental principles of time and space that govern our universe. To articulate these core concepts rooted in Indian philosophy, he employed the pure geometry of points, lines, squares, circles, and triangles. These shapes form a universal language that connects Raza's art with both the pioneers of 20th-century abstract art in Europe and the traditional shilpins of ancient India.
This book meticulously charts the fifty-year evolution of Raza's vision, showcasing how he maintained his Indian sensibility while creating powerful images. Each painting serves as an improvisation on the essential theme of mapping a metaphorical space in the mind that is intrinsically India.
Written by Geeti Sen, an esteemed art historian and critic, this book enriches the understanding of Raza’s work and context. Sen’s impressive background, including her contributions to significant books on Indian art, adds depth to this narrative. Her previous works, such as Feminine Fables: Imaging the Indian Woman in Painting, Photography and Cinema and her recent contribution to Meera Mukherjee: Purity of Vision, reflect her dedication to the subject.
This insightful volume is not just a collection of Raza's works; it offers a lens through which to view the intricate relationship between Indian culture and modern artistic expression. A must-have for art lovers and collectors alike, it serves as a beautiful exploration of Raza's enduring influence on the art world.
