I came across an interesting article by a gentleman called Sajith Kumar called "Showing artists the moolah" which discusses the works of the three Raj brothers in an exhibition in Calcutta 50 years ago.
Some of the text follows: "In the same catalogue, the works of artists are listed along with the prices of their works. For instance, we can cite the instance of the well-known watercolourists of the G D Raj family — Arul, Paul and Thyagaraj. G D Arul Raj’s four paintings and Thyagaraj’s were each priced at a meager Rs 35. G D Paul Raj fared better, with 10 works priced between Rs 125 and Rs 175."
You can find the article in full at. "Showing artists the moolah"
Today I am adding a photo of a painting by G D Paulraj it shows two people resting in the shade of a large tree. I was sent this photo by my friend Kashinath.
Indian art has come a long way since then!Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.
