Admirer of Paul Raj Paintings

My photo
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 Paulraj - Feeding The Bulls

This is a painting by G D Paulraj which sold at auction in the USA on 4 December 2010 it sold for $325 around £217.  I think it is the best painting I have seen sell at an auction this year by Paulraj.
I now wish I have bid 0n this one I like it a lot.  A second painting by Paulraj sold at the same auction , I will post that in a few days time, but this one is still my favourite of the two.  Hope you like it.

  1. The a bit faded, one can notice the use of colors here. The shadow itself has so many colors combining so well. One of the very best.
