This series of presentation is intend to cover the

holistic biographical information and works of

fine art of my father late Prof. R.P.JOSHI.

He was an artist, art teacher, a father with

excellent values and adorable family head. He

created new identity for us imbibing art sensitivity

in his eight children.

My mother late INDUMATI

a gifted vocal classical singer,

inborn knitting craft artist and

the ultimate lovable, kind hearted mother who

created emotional bodings

for the entire family.

This is an effort to express the gratitude towards

them

on behalf of my entire family.

My father wrote several articles on art since 1942

till his death in 1987. His contribution to art of

woven textile design is also covered besides

paintings. His views expressed through articles on

art education gives good insights in today's

context. It is my pleasure to share this all with
