Admirer of Paul Raj Paintings
- Gold Finch
- Paul was born in Kodaikanal on 22 September 1914 and died on 2 October 1979. G D Arulraj was born in 1925 and died in June 1972 while visiting India. Arul worked at Laguna Beach in the 60's and 1970's. G D Thyagaraj might have been born in 1922 and I am told that he probably died sometime before 1981. He moved to northern India as a young man. I lived in India as a child and spent a lot of time in Calcutta. My mother purchased several paintings directly from Paul Raj while living in Madras and this got me interested in his works. I then discovered he had two brothers Arul Raj and Thyaga Raj who were both fantastic artists. I could not find much information on the internet so decided to set up my own blog. Subsequently a Facebook tribute site has also been created to the memory of the three brothers. Contact me at: rajbrothers@hotmail.co.uk

G D Paul Raj - Ploughing
I find this painting slightly strange as it hardly contains any colours which is unusual for Paul Raj? I wonder if it has been exposed to the light over the years and has faded?
I have only included it on the blog for interest, the signature seems correct but no date is available.
The Face Book page is now getting going in case anyone wants to take a look, it can be found at the following link: G D Paul Raj Facebook page.
