Death Painting ...

Image may contain: tree, plant, outdoor and water
Have you ever asked yourself that 'Can artists paint pain of Death?' It's a conception. This doesn't mean that Death is bad always ... it's a new beginning .. it's a new black to start and paint all colors .. All are finished nothing is dead ... Sometimes we can understand nothing is finished, it is the wish of the artist to stop self to carry out / implement further on that particular work ...

Abstract painting contains powerful limitations and extraordinary freedom. Great abstract paintings can be the result of a tremendous condensation of information. An abstract painting can be a tight tough form with which to transmit huge content. Peter Acheson calls it "a hard nut containing the whole tree". The painting enters vision fast but continues to flow into consciousness as it releases it’s meaning slowly over time. We live with the image and it lives with us. This is what the soul needs— long periods of slow focused contemplation.

Most problematic of all, folded up and hidden within the notion of beauty are conflicting values. Beauty implies an inequality in the way things look. If there is beauty, there is ugliness, and everything else in between. That kind of ranking offends our democratic sense of justice, because we moderns have defined justice as that which most closely approximates equality.

Raghu Rai: The Unflinching Eye That Framed India’s Conscience by Prabuddha Ghosh

Raghu Rai: The Unflinching Eye That Framed India’s Conscience by Prabuddha Ghosh In the long and unsettled narrative of modern India, few visual chroniclers have worked with the moral clarity, emotional depth, and sustained intensity of Raghu Rai. To speak of him merely as a photographer is to understate the scope of his engagement. He is, more precisely, a witness to India’s becoming—its fractures, its continuities, its silences, and its eruptions. Across decades, his lens has moved with a rare steadiness through the country’s most defining moments, refusing spectacle while never relinquishing the power of the image. Born on 18 December 1942 in Jhang, in undivided Punjab—now in Pakistan—Rai belonged to a generation marked indelibly by the trauma of Partition. Geography, for him, was never inert. It was memory, rupture, and inheritance. Punjab was not simply a birthplace; it was a divided consciousness. That inheritance would quietly shape his sensibility. There is, in his work, an unm...
