M.F.HUSAIN (1915 - 2011) MATERNAL GRACE WITH GANESHA WATER COLOUR ON PAPER

A MODERNIST WATERCOLOR DEPICTING A MOTHERLY FIGURE, SYMBOLICALLY REPRESENTING PARVATI, SEATED ON A WHITE BULL WHILE CRADLING BABY GANESHA. THE EARTHY RED AND BROWN BACKGROUND CONTRASTS WITH THE MUTED TONES OF THE FIGURES, ADDING DEPTH AND FOCUS. THE COW, SACRED POT, AND HALO BEHIND THE MOTHER'S HEAD ENHANCE THE DIVINITY AND RURAL INDIAN ETHOS OF THE SCENE. REMINISCENT OF M.F. HUSAIN'S STYLE, THE PAINTING BLENDS SIMPLICITY WITH POWERFUL CULTURAL ICONOGRAPHY

THESE WORKS ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER, MUCH LIKE THOSE BY RENOWNED ARTISTS SUCH AS M.F. HUSAIN, S.H. RAZA, F.N. SOUZA, AKBAR PADAMSEE, HEMENDRANATH MAZUMDAR, RAM KUMAR, JAMINI ROY, B. PRABHA, TYEB MEHTA, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY ARE OFTEN SOLD BY AUCTIONEERS TO COLLECTORS AROUND THE GLOBE.
