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 - Women working in the fields

This painting is owned by Lauren's family in Scotland, she contacted me in September 2017 with some questions and then sent me this photo.  Unfortunately it is a bit blurred. However she intends to send me a better photo later this month when she is home.  It was purchased in Laguna Beach USA from Arul's shop by a Canadian couple who ended up living in Scotland.  Following their passing it was given to Lauren's grandmother.  On the back is fixed a note and a post card from Arul's shop which we have seen before.  Thank you Lauren for sharing. 

Then a copy of the note and postcard follow below.
