Upon his Induction as a Member of RCDM, Rtn Polho welcomed all to his home, one of the finest specimens of Finnish design in the world. In fact, the President's official residence in Helsinki was based on the Finnish Ambassador's house in Delhi. The credit for this design goes to a husband/wife designer couple. It was they who went for a high roof and high windows. The angles of the walls interspersed with ceramic work provided a simple artistic look. Friday 29 April 2016 at 1pm The Imperial, New Delhi Joint Meeting with RCD Chanakyapuri A strong turnout of Art lovers in rapt attention President and Members of RCDM took this opportunity to felicitate Rtn Anju Modi on her most recent achievement. Rtn Anju Modi thereafter was requested to say a few words of her journey in Fashion, which culminated in her winning the Filmfare Award this year. Her start in the field of dress designing and her success over the years led to an entry into Bollywood a few years ago. Designing of dresses in many films was done by her. She was the recipient of the Star Screen Award and Rtn Anju Modi many others. The crowning glory however came in 2015. She received the coveted Filmfare Award for the dress worn by Deepika Padukone for the song 'Deewani Mastani' in the Bollywood hit 'Bajirao Mastani.' This dress was on display at the Art Fundraiser and got a bid from an RCDM Member. Guest Speaker Amisha Chowbey The Guest Speaker, Ms Amisha Chowbey was introduced by Rtn Shibani Chawla as an Art Writer who contributes to Hindustan Times, Delhi and other publications She is also the co-founder of a mobile app, currently being developed. Ms. Chowbey looks at Art as trying to find something. She comes from a family who have been Art collectors for 3 decades, According to her the journey chosen by an Art writer can make mistakes as in any other journey. In her view, the buyer of an Art item should make an informed decision and not go purely on instinct. Questions need to be asked to figure out what is being bought. The main task of an Art critic is to catch & recognise the potential of an Artist. The canvas is the Truism of the Artist. As far as the buyer is concerned, Art investment is not just about money.It has to encompass fame and love of the acquisition. BOARD 2015-16 Bharat R.
