AAW #57
May 05 - May 11 2016
Summer is in full swing, when most would want to stay indoors or travel. But than that is not what people with creative hearts would prefer. Here is Ahmedabad Art Weekly 57, and it is choc-o-block with interesting art and culture events that would help one to ward away the summer heat and enjoy some really cool cultural offerings.
A lot is happening on the literature front, and the visual art scene as attractive as always.
This week the AAW pays tribute to legendary artist Shri Rasiklal Parikh. Parikh is a pioneer in more ways than one. His monochrome and multicolor wood cuts are a subject of study in itself, and it granted a new dimension to the art movement of India. Extremely popular between 30’s and 50’s it was due to his conviction and persistence that shaped up Fine Arts Education in Gujarat. He is the man behind the foundation of Sheth CN School of Fine Arts in Ahmedabad, India.
At CreativeYatra we are so humbled that this illustration comes from a student of the same college that was founded by Shri Parikh.
