CELEBRATING RAZA

S. H. RAZA’S legendary brush with the palette began long before he became famous and now, after his death in 2016, the Piramal Museum of

Art, Mumbai, is holding S. H. Raza: Traversing Terrains, an exhibition showcasing his famous works. One of India’s most lauded artists, Raza’s works are a reflection of his French training and exposure to post-war American abstract clubbed with his love for all things Indian. The exhibition traces the artist’s evolution across five decades and explores the aspects of his relationship with Henri Cartier- Bresson, the French photographer who is said to have influenced him deeply. Interestingly, the exhibition has been in the making since 2010 and the exhibition space is progressive, with Braille texts and aids for the visually impaired. On at the Piramal Museum of Art, Mumbai, from June 24 to October 25.
