'Syed Haider Raza is widely recognized as one of the undisputed masters of modern Indian art. Living in Paris for more than half a century, he has combined in his art the French 'le sens plastique' and a deeply rooted Indian vision. From painting landscapes and cityscapes. he has moved to explore inscapes, the inner reality through the inner eyes. His art fuses sensuous colours with luminous spiritual grace.

Property from an Eminent Parsi Collection, UK
This lot is from the collection of an eminent Parsi gentleman based in London. He began collecting books over 25 years ago, when he studied History of Art at Cambridge in the 1980s. His initial focus was on the Bombay Progressives. He is now offering a selection from his library with favourites ranging from Amrita Sher-gil, George Keyt, M F Husain and F N Souza, and a very rare privately printed, limited edition book illustrated by Bhupen Kakhar.
This lot will be sold in "as is" condition.
There may be some minor tears/creases scratches, or holes commensurate with age that may not be visible in the images.
The books on sale in this auction are rare, out-of-print and otherwise collectible, dating from the 19th century onwards. The technology and material for printing and binding books has evolved over the last few centuries. From being the exclusive preserve of Clergy and Kings to an item of everyday application, the availability and use of books has also evolved over time. Books age over time and deterioration in a book's condition depends on many factors, including the original materials used and conditions of usage over time.
