Artistic Inheritance

Dr. Seema Bhalla

Art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows beauty, that has music in its soul and the colour of sunset in its handkerchief, that can dance on a flaming world and make the world dance too. W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963)

And it is a few of such sensitive people that are being talked about here. Belonging to the families where art is an integral part of life, the perceptiveness in them made them sense it around them, connect to it and express it with their individual creativity. They share one thing in common, their family lineage of royalty, and have pursued different forms of art that literally seems to be an element of their DNA as it comprises of their memories of growing up. The genre of art followed might be varying; the initiation comes from home and childhood. They are all passionately into preserving their artistic inheritance with added fervor for originality.
