Publisher's Synopsis
The Eyes of the Thar brings the desert in western Rajasthan alive through the eyes of the multi-talented artist Satish Gupta. His poetry and drawings come together, words and images weaving an intricate web of reflection, repose, distance and intimacy as they meld thought and feeling and compel one to pause and wonder. Gupta has travelled extensively in the Thar desert in Rajasthan, living with nomads and experiencing the desert in all its intensity. Here, he takes the reader on a timeless journey through the carved havelis, the frescoed walls, the wondrous life of royalty and the colours of desert fairs to the vast open expanses of the dunes with nomads on camel backs winding their way through eternity. This deluxe, numbered limited edition is encased in a luxurious gift box and is illustrated in full colour, including gold.
