Raza

Rudolf von Leyden, Raza, Bombay: Sadanga Publications, 1959

20 pages, including 14 plates of which 5 are tipped in colour plates; paperback
10.5 x 8.75 in (27 x 22.5 cm)

An early and significant monograph on Sayed Haider Raza, authored by German-born art historian and critic Rudolf von Leyden, who was a key figure in documenting the development of post-Independence Indian modernism. Published by Sadanga Publications, Bombay, in 1959, this title was among the first standalone studies dedicated to Raza's work.

The publication includes a critical essay on Raza’s evolving practice during his formative years in Paris, alongside reproductions of his paintings that trace his transition from expressionistic landscapes to early geometric abstraction.

This monograph is considered a foundational reference in early Raza scholarship and is increasingly scarce, especially in well-preserved condition.
