FANTASTIC BIG-FORMAT COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK by Raghubir Singh -
showing "his India".

BRILLIANT FRESH AND FLAWLESS CONDITION - collector's copy.

"Raghubir Singh is considered by many to be one of the finest photographers working today.
Born in Rajasthan, India, his work is in the permanent collections of a number of major museums, including The Art Institute of Chicago, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and The Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. His many publications include books on Kerala, Rajasthan, Bombay and the Ganges. This is the first retrospective look at his work."
(from the publisher)

PLEASE ENJOY the newest edition of the more and more popular ONE-SELLER-PHOTOBOOK auctions 
by Ecki Heuser (5Uhr30.com/Cologne/Germany) on "Catawiki".

"During the past thirty years Raghubir Singh has made countless personal journeys across the vast Indian subcontinent. He has travelled along the Ganges, toured the ghats and alleys of Benares and explored the cosmopolitan cities of Calcutta and Mumbai. The result is a series of vibrant photographs that capture the exuberant spirit and restless activity of his native India. Singh always succeeds in getting into the heart of the scene and intuitively portraying it from the insider's point of view.
In his engaging and informative introduction to River of Colour, Raghubir Singh explains what India means to him, focusing in particular on the importance of colour in India. Singh's instinctual affinity with colour is seen again and again in his pictures that follow. Arranged in eleven sections that depict aspects integral to Indian life, including the street, monuments, icons, water and pilgrimages, Singh's photographs reveal everything from the magical to the mundane, providing a comprehensive picture of the country that remains imprinted in the mind.
When reviewing Singh's 1989 show at the Smithsonian Institution, The Washington Times art critic commented on, 'Singh's eye, which is memorable both for the absence of pedantry and its almost Cartier-Bresson-like sensibility to the telling moment. It is this sensitivity, this ability to find the essence of a scene and capture it in a single frame that makes this life-long work - this 'act of living' - so monumental. As V.S. Naipaul told him,
'You have delivered something real to us."
