RAHI - THE CUBIST LEGEND OF ASIA
Life and Work of Mansoor Rahi
[Concise Edition]
This must-read book is a key resource about the life and work of a great Asian master, Mansoor Rahi. His groundbreaking periods and styles over the decades show the evolution of an eminent abstract-cubist from the heart of Asia. It is the first-ever resource revealing the great master's mystical dimensions and telling his mesmerizing story, which spans over half a century of adventures, battles, achievements and glory.
Perhaps even more importantly, the book exposes the mind and thought process of an Asian legend who introduced modernist philosophy and modern art to a region of the world that remained isolated from such concepts until his arrival. Through his art, Rahi served as the hidden bridge connecting the Eastern and Western worlds. Opening up the minds of millions he exposed the modernist ideas and processes that originated from deep inside Asia.
