Come to Bengalooru, the NGMA here has a roomful of Sher-Gill’s works, some of which have been featured in Raghbeer’s book.<br />On a recent trip to the Salar Jung museum, my 5-year old spotted a Ravi Varma and excitedly identified it, thanks to Tulika’s The Veena Player. Hats off to the Tulika team for getting even little ones interested in the stuff.Choxboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-47250689288385484952010-12-29T22:19:48.302-08:002010-12-29T22:19:48.302-08:00Picked up the one on Amrita Sher-gil.

So many questions in the last 24 hours about her art, the photos and places mentioned in the book, Hungarian words, her family, sister, and even the different haircuts! A real treat for me too going through the book with her. :)<br /><br />Part story, part memoir and part biography, all rolled into one bite-sized read is a very interesting way to present an artist to children. Loved it! The reproduced art and b/w, sepia photographs of Amrita, delightful! Thanks, Chox for an amazing review. The book was number one in my list of books to take home this time. Not to miss the fact that I actually went broke at Tulika's office. :)Praba Ramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124515962155387444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-57314585234333685702010-04-01T17:42:37.657-07:002010-04-01T17:42:37.657-07:00We love this book.

How inventive!! I don't have a wishlist of Indian books as such, but this is going on it.
