  8. B N Goswamy, 90, doyen of #Pahari #Art, passed away this morning
    His demise leaves behind a void, a vacuum which won't be filled soon

    His favourite:
    'The Trumpeters'
    c1740 CE, by #Nainsukh of #Guler, #HimachalPradesh who made this at #Jasrota, #Jammu (#Punjab Hills)

    Now at British #Museum

    "The painting depicts seven musicians...holding Pahari horns with long pipes known as turhi...their postures, costumes, hands & faces
    and, their instruments introduces dynamism & vibrancy to the moment"
