EDITORS COMMENTS
Imaginary Meeting of Guru Nanak, Mardana Sahab, and Other Sikh Gurus," is a testament to the rich artistic and spiritual heritage of Sikhism. The creator of this opaque watercolor and gold on paper drawing remains unknown, but it is believed to have originated from the Indian subcontinent, likely in the 1780s. The scene depicts a serene hillside, with a lush green background dotted with plants and trees. At the center, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism, is shown seated on a hill, in deep meditation. To his right, Mardana Sahab, his beloved companion and musician, is shown playing the rubab, a traditional musical instrument, while Guru Nanak listens intently. Surrounding them are other prominent Sikh Gurus, including Guru Angad, Amar Das, Ram Das, Arjan, Har Krishan, Har Rai, Gobind Das, and Gobind Singh. Each Guru is depicted in a unique posture, reflecting their individual qualities and teachings. The Gurus are dressed in traditional Sikh attire and are shown in a respectful and humble posture, reflecting the egalitarian and humble nature of Sikhism. The drawing is a beautiful representation of the deep spiritual connection between the Gurus and their followers, as well as the importance of music and meditation in Sikhism. The use of vibrant green color and gold adds to the artwork's elegance and beauty, making it a valuable piece of Asian art and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Sikhism." This artwork is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and serves as a reminder of the deep spiritual and artistic traditions that have shaped the world's religious and cultural landscape.
