Another great painting by Paul Raj, one of his many market scenes with lots of activity. The colours still look fresh as well.
I wish I owned this one, it reminds me of my visit to India last November, hope you enjoy this one.
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 Paulraj - Village Tap
This painting recently sold on Ebay for £183.00 it started at £125.00 so it was a good price for a very nice painting. I remember it changing hands about 18 months ago and I think I added to my blog at that time, but this is a better photo.
The colours look nice and fresh, I think the painting was unframed, shame I could not bid on it, retirement has curbed my spending.
