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 - The Bazaar, Maharashtra
Water colour by G D Paulraj of The Bazaar, Maharashtra this is again slightly different to some earlier posts the people are larger and more prominent, I only wish I could date the paintings to see how his style changed over the years.
It looks a really busy open air market and quite a colourful painting.

G D Thyagaraj - The Bazaar
Came across this one by Thyagaraj the other day of a bazaar scene.
The sky is dark and moody, shame it is only a low resolution photo. It measures painting - 12 5/8" Height x 19 1/8" Width. Framed - 20 3/8" Height x 25 1/2" Width

G D Paul Raj - The Bazaar
This painting by G D Paul Raj sold at auction a few years ago in Florida USA. The photo is a bit grainy as it is only a low quality one.
It is not dissimilar to one I own of a market scene so could be from the same time and place. The stall holder if the foreground is busy cooking something in a large pan.
