520 Raghubir Singh (1942-1999) was a pioneer of color street
photography who worked and published prolifically from the
late 1960s until his death in 1999 at age 56. His vivid,
intensely hued photographs capture rural and urban India
and iconic depictions of Indian culture though a truly
cosmopolitan approach that succeeded in blending East and
West. This richly illustrated volume studies in depth the
full breadth of Singh's work, situating it at the
intersection of Western Modernism and traditional South
Asian modes of picturing the world. The book showcases 90
of his photographs, including some previously unpublished
images, in counterpoint both with the work of his
contemporaries and with images of traditional South Asian
artworks that inspired his practice.
