Raghubir Singh (1942–1999) was an Indian photographer, known for his photojournalistic landscapes and views of local people. Largely self-taught, Singh created a vast photographic oeuvre. His work has been included in some of the most important magazines and newspapers including Time, National Geographic Magazine, The New Yorker and The New York Times. His opus culminated in the publishing of fourteen books. His photographs are also in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago to name a few. Most recently in October 2017, the Met Breuer held an exhibition of his paintings titled Modernism on the Ganges. Presented here are two iconic photographs of Kashmir in the 1980s, both remarkable examples of his finely-honed artistry in this medium. The photographs are built around the line of the horizon, framed by soaring mountains in the background and a tranquil lake in the foreground. Singh’s seamless melding of people into the landscape around them suggests a harmonious co-existence with nature and is a testament to Singh's distinctive vision.
