Sayed Haider Raza: The Journey of an Iconic Artist by Yashodhara Dalmia

Not being much aware of the modern art I was expecting it to be a good one specially about such an established artist.

However, it didn't cover a lot of things which could bring him out as a person, and not focusing too much on his master pieces. It has a good commentary on some of Raza's contemporary artists which gives the glimpse of artists' struggle in those days in India or abroad.

Raza was a real gem who came out shining out of all the adversities just by pulling everything with his passion for art. He not only found his own style but also established himself as a pioneer in modern art and this is not because the auction value at Christies but the emotions his paintings evoked.

A man who painted for the love of it, and lived for it till his last breath.

Love
