RADHA - KRISHNA:

This white porcelain piece is showing the Radha-Krishna couple, seated on a decorative pedestal, in intimate conversation with each other, in rapt attention. On the flute, so favourite of Krishna, besides his fingers, fingers of Radha are also seen caressing it. Three calves, attracted by the melodious sound of Krishna's flute, as if under a spell, seem to share the feeling of intimacy of the divine couple. Thus, the entire scene appears alive. The peculiarity of this piece is the Gujarati manner in which Radhaji has worn her saree, indicating that the image is created by a Gujarati artist. In this piece, made at the beginning of this century, the minute details of the dress as well as the anatomy are proportionate. This captivates the viewer.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness. - John Keats

Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experinced. - Oscar Wilde
