JAMMU, Feb 29: N.N. Vohra, Governor, has emphasized the need for documenting, preserving and effectively showcasing the rich composite cultural heritage and art works, originating from Jammu and Kashmir. In this context, he particularly referred to the valuable outcome of the initiatives taken for the documentation, conservation and showcasing of the famous miniature paintings of the Basohli school.
The Governor said this after releasing a book titled "Veer Munshi: The Dialogues Series", at Raj Bhavan here today. This book, based on Munshi's conversations with Ranjit Hoskote and Ms. Nancy Adajania, both eminent writers and art critics, is the sixth volume on Major Artists of India. It provides sharply etched portraits of the artists and critically engaged accounts of their works.
The Governor welcomed Munshi's proposal to organize expositions of his art works in Srinagar and Jammu, adding that this would go a long way in inspiring the budding artists of the State. He appreciated Munshi's contribution to the enrichment of artistic creations and wished him high success in all his future endeavours.
Veer Munshi is a well known artist from Jammu and Kashmir who has been exhibiting his works in the art galleries within and outside the country - his paintings, sculptures and other art creations which have Kashmir as the main theme.
Navin Kumar Choudhary, Principal Secretary to the Governor and Atal Dulloo, Commissioner/Secretary, Tourism and Culture, were present on the occasion. |
