Throughout his practice, K. K. Hebbar created works

that were a result of his immersive inquiries and
encounters with various cultures and traditions. He
modulated the visual treatment he rendered upon
the work in correlation with his subject’s
environment and reality. This oil work from the year
1964, is evidently the result of the artist’s
experiences in South & Central America. He had
participated in the Biennale at Brazil that coincides
with the work’s date of the creation. An example of
his works from the same period is titled ‘Homage to
Sun and Moon’ dated, 1964. The work’s colour
composition is in continuity with style he had
adopted while executing these Aztec theme works.

The sun and the moon are integral elements of the

Lot No. 25
Aztec’s religious beliefs, wherein the moon god is
synonymous with ‘Coyolxauhqui’. In this work the LALU PRASAD SHAW
artist depicts a crescent moon, silhouetted against 1937
the black sun. Along with the refined and innovative
UNTITLED
stylistic dynamism, this work encapsulates the
40 x 29.5 in (101.6 x 75 cm)
responsibility of an artist, and their art towards

preserving and sharing culture and traditions of

places and people. K. K. Hebbar inducts an aura of
mystery into this work but does not tamper with the

essence of the represented. His effortless strokes and
proficiency with shimmering colours and subtle Signed & Dated : Bottom Right

Provenance : Property from an important Mumbai based

collection, artwork was originally sold by Vadehra Art Gallery.

Ram Kumar belonged to the first generation of post independence artists. He

successfully progressed to create an individual identity that represented Indian
aesthetics without succumbing to the superficial inventory of native motifs. He
always struck a chord with the audience on account of his humanist approach
which reflects in his art. When in Paris he joined the French Communist Party,
when he returned home he lived near the refugee camp at Karol Bagh in Delhi.

He visited Benaras for the first time along with fellow artist M.F. Husian, during
the 60s his Benares series had a sombre distinction, with heavy use of greys and
browns which distilled the pure white hue to give it an illuminating effect,
perfectly bringing this city of light with rapid flowing river to life on the canvas.
In the 80s he revisited Benares and conceptualized yet another series dedicated
to this city, this time round he etched the perspective from the banks of the
Ganga, carefully imprinting and executing places of worship and ancient
abodes of the sages. His visits to various countries, places within India and their

and also learnt about the fundamentals that constitute the mandalas
and the chakras. In spite of having deciphered the teaching of these
institutions, he never did replicate them but rather translated his
artistic perception of shapes, colours and geometry in his work. Finally
after traversing a long path of space in time, he was able to take the
master's throne of this universe which he had created and was his own.
The result was the ‘Bindu’ which signified his rebirth as a painter. The
combinations of geometric shapes which organize his work in this
series such as concentric circles, interlocked triangles, squares, energy
points all seemingly portray the jurisprudence of the universe on a
canvas. In this work from 1994 he includes the ‘Bindu’ (the source of
energy) along with the Tribhuj (Triangle), as well as symbolisms that
represent the primordial institution of ‘Prakriti - Purusha’ (the female
and the male energy).

This work was executed by M.F. Husain as an expression of artistic protest against the 1989

students began this movement as a sign of respect.

In the weeks that followed, thousands of citizens thronged to join the students in the
square to protest against China's Communist rulers. The situation escalated to the
point that on the 19th of May, 1989 the General Secretary of the Chinese
Communist Party, Zhao Ziyang, appeared at the rally to request the gathered crowd
to end the demonstration. When the protesters didn’t pay heed, Premier Li Peng
imposed martial law on the very same day. A fortnight later, on the 4th of June, 1989
at about 1 a.m. Chinese troops reached Tiananmen Square and through the course
of the day they fired on civilians and students, thwarting their non-violent protest
and killing in the multitudes. The official death toll of this horrific incident has not
been released by officials till date.

K. S. Radhakrishnan was born in February 1956 in Kuzhimattom,

Kottayam, Kerala, India. He was inspired by his uncle to take up
painting in 1970. After completing pre-degree courses in
Changanacherry he joined the Kala Bhavan Vishwabharati
University, Santiniketan, West Bengal in 1974. In 1979 he
received a BFA from Viswhabharati University and participated in
his first exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata, India.

Critics applaud his works owing to the degree of immediacy

present in his sculptures. His figures are robust with ritual dances
and performances while touching upon Hindu mythology. He has

This early watercolour work is from S. H. Raza’s formative period and was
executed by the master artist in the same year when he co-founded the PAG.
Prior to his Paris phase, S.H. Raza predominantly executed idyllic landscape
works in watercolour. This medium of execution showcases his fluidity with
lines and shadow. Considering he was in Bombay during the time of this work’s
creation, one could assume that could have very well been a view of his vicinity
in the city.
S.H Raza spent his childhood in the towns adjoining the forest of Madhya
Pradesh, which instilled the awareness of the surrounding nature, it engulfed
and penetrated his very soul and naive mind, leaving an impact that would be a
part of him for a long time. Initially these early childhood experiences of being
immersed and surrounded in nature, inspired him and drove his subconscious
thoughts towards creating landscapes during the inception of his artistic
endeavors. Thus during his formative years he focused on creating works
reflecting traits of expressionistic landscapes, townscapes & riverscapes with
fluent watercolours. Raza amalgamated all that he experienced; his transition
from the village of Madhya Pradesh to the city of Nasik and later to the
megacity Bombay. As well as his visits to various parts of India like Kashmir,
Benares & the scenic Alleppey canal in Travancore in his work. S.H Raza
displayed greatness at this stage of his career by effortlessly transporting the
viewers to a place through his vision. The nuance with which he captured the
bustling streets & market places won him accolades. He was even awarded the
gold medal from The Bombay Arts Society for one of his watercolour work, of a
Kashmiri Valley.

Maqbool Fida Husain moved to Bombay at the age of 20, during his early days
in the city he earned a living painting cinema hoardings. This apprenticeship
with the billboard painter grilled him and he was therefore able to execute
paintings of scale with speed, a skill he often flaunted while painting on stage
in front of a large crowd. His early work predominantly captured rural idyll, his
narrative paintings executed in a modified Cubist style, can be caustic and
funny as well as serious and sombre. During the 1947 annual exhibition of
the Bombay Art Society his painting ‘Sunhera Sansaar’ was displayed which
won him accolades and recognition. Through the course of his practice he
continuously innovated his vocabulary and depicted subjects that ranged
from dancers and musicians, to Hindu epics, to women in power. His visual
interpretations surpass the literal narratives, he addressed much larger truths
and interlinked them with contemporary issues that reckoned his thoughts.
M.F. Husain was conferred with the title of Padma Vibhushan by the Govt of
India in the year 1991 for his contribution to Indian art. The artist passed away
on the 9th of June, 2011, in London.

directly from the artist.

This untitled work by M.F. Husain dated 1980 belongs to

the first set of creations he had executed for his Mother
Teresa Series. It is a known fact that it was in the year
1980 that Mother Teresa appeared for the first time in
M.F. Husain’s art. Through his paintings from his Mother
Teresa Series, the artist aspired to express the essence of
Mother Teresa’s existence in the life of those she served.
At times he would portray her nurturing an orphaned
child or lamenting and sharing the grief of the harshness
of a poor man’s reality. However in this early Mother
Teresa Series work he portrays her as an anchor and pillar
of support for the street children of Calcutta. The
destitute are painted clinging onto the soft flowing
drapes of her blue bordered white saree that was
synonymous with Mother Teresa.

M.F. Husain’s oeuvre was not restricted to painting and

he successfully dabbled in a multitude of media such as
designing toys in wood, furniture, murals, drawings,
graphic-prints, installations, documentaries, short films,
feature films etc. His first film ‘Through the Eyes of a
Painter’ won a Golden Bear Award in the year 1967 at the
Berlin International Film Festival.
