Art is life is art


"It is impossible to express India's particular beauty in black-and-white.
Black-and-white might be a good medium to convey Europe's fear and alienation,
but color is natural for Indians and more appropriate for the extraordinary diversity
of India. Unlike European art, Indian art did not have the tradition of independent
black-and-white sketches and drawings. If any line drawings were made, they were
for being filled out in color. Color is the fountain of India. Color is the basis of
the entire rasa theory, that governs Indian painting, dance, music, and literature."- Raghubir singh (veteran ace photographer )

shot @ Indian handicrafts fair , i was really amazed to see the work of  some of India's finest craftsman  from the most remote corners of the country , for them art is life , life is art .
