Must the sky be blue or fields be green. Do artists paint what they see or what they imagine, or both? These books are written in close collaboration with artists who are living legends. The author introduces us to their work, shares their passion for art and also tells us little stories from their lives. This book is about Ram Kumar's life and work. It tells us about how he tries to paint the way a place feels and not just what it looks like. When he thinks of the snow-capped mountains of Ladakh, he thinks in black and white. When he imagines the busy city of Varanasi or Benaras, with its rivers, boats and bazaars, he sees it in blues and browns. He even paints wind in red.
