PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE ASIAN COLLECTION (LOTS 1295-1299)Beohar Rammanohar Sinha (1929-2007) was an Indian artist who is best known for his illustrations in the original final manuscript of the Constitution of India. Between 1957 to 1959, Rammanohar was sent by the Indian government to China as a scholar and a cultural emissary. The objective was to establish a direct cross-cultural and intercivilization bridge between the two historic nations. In addition to the dissemination of Indian art there, Rammanohar was to gain mastery in the best of Chinese art from the great master Qi Baishi and his contemporaries and followers. In 1957, Qi Baishi introduced Rammanohar to Li Keran after which they worked together for some time in the same studio in Beijing. When Rammanohar moved out of Beijing, several paintings were exchanged between him and Li Keran, visible in the accompanying photograph, including some that are air-drying (The middle one, Lot 1299) and the ones stacked on the table in the photography of 1957.
