EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "His Rubies" transports us to the enchanting world of Indian literature and art. Created in 1920 by John Byam Liston Shaw, a renowned artist of his time, this colour lithograph is an illustration from the book "The Garden of Kama (and other lyrics from India)". The image showcases a mesmerizing blend of eroticism, spirituality, and cultural richness. In this artwork, we witness the divine presence of gods and goddesses adorned in elaborate costumes. Their vibrant attire reflects the opulence and grandeur associated with Indian culture. The central focus lies on a god who possesses rubies that radiate passion and desire. These precious gems symbolize love's intensity as described in ancient Indian poetry. Byam Shaw skillfully captures the essence of Kama, the Hindu god of love, through intricate details and delicate brushstrokes. His portrayal evokes both sensuality and mysticism, inviting viewers into a realm where earthly desires intertwine with spiritual devotion. This artwork not only celebrates India's rich literary heritage but also highlights its profound influence on artistic expression across Asia. It serves as a testament to how cultures can inspire each other through shared stories and traditions. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this exquisite piece continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. Its fusion of visual artistry with poetic themes makes it an enduring tribute to India's cultural legacy.
