When Sayed Haider Raza arrived in Paris in 1952, aged 28, he carried deep within him the resonance of India, silent and cocooned. It was wrapped in many layers of colonisation and comp lexes that his Western art practice eventually gave him courage to unravel layer by layer, to arrive at a cerebral geometric abstraction for the world to sit back and take note of with awe.
