Biography: 1922 - 2016. The Indian modernist Sayed Haider (S. H.) Raza, was born in 1922 in Babaria.In the 1970s, Raza grew increasingly dissatisfied with the direction of his works, and looked to find greater authenticity. This desire drove him to take trips in India from France where he had been living since 1950 after beginning studies at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His trips opened his eyes to the depth and profundity of Indian culture and history.In 1980, he finally made a breakthrough, abandoning an expressionist approach to move towards geometric abstraction. This decisive moment in Raza's career was marked by his discovery of the philosophical and cultural potency of the bindu (dot). In Sanskrit, the word bindu literally means point, or dot and in Indian philosophy, it denotes the point of all creation; the source of space, time and consciousness.Raza's works span from the accomplished but ultimately reality-bound landscapes of the 1940's to the breakthrough works of his Bombay Progressive Artists' Group (PAG) days, and his later expressionist works of the 60's and 70's.Syed Haider Raza passed away in 2016.
