Art Galleries

ART: Kala Fan and Fun. : Art. Artlessness. There is a thin line between these. Indeed it is only in the eye of the beholder. I prefer popular forms of art to the so called 'fine arts'. The museums and studios I am always visiting are the streets of cities. The sign posts. The temples. The neon signs. The decorated trucks. The gaudy and jaunty exterior of hotels and bars. In Hindi it is called kala. In Urdu, fan. And indeed, it is fun. These are samples of the EVERYMAN ART found everywhere in South Asia. I hope you enjoy.
