The Wheel of King Asoka
His freehand illustrations, such as “the parade of playful elephants,” were simple yet detailed and interesting, using angles, shapes, texture, and whimsey as main components. He became a U.S. citizen in Philadelphia and taught popular college-level classes in creativity in Allentown at Cedar Crest College and the Baum School of Art.
Born July 27, 1944, in India, Mr. Davar earned a bachelor’s degree from the Sir J.J. School of Arts in Mumbai. William Weir, a longtime local Rotarian, helped him navigate his fellowship in the early 1960s, and he lived at International House, a residential center for international students in Philadelphia that he supported throughout his life.
