Footnotes: Provenance Property from a private collection, UK. Nath's work is distinguished by its vibrant use of colour and striking abstraction, earning him recognition and awards from both the Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, and the Government of Madhya Pradesh. As art critic and artist J. Appasamy observed of Nath's work, 'style itself is reticent, saying or suggesting only the least that needs to be stated. The colours too are limited and quiet and often consist of hues of the same colour. The whole painting has a certain expansiveness because the composition is open and can be thought of as part of a larger reality. There is a certain sense of mystery in these paintings; they affect the feelings of the spectator.' (J. Appasamy, The Paths of Abstraction, Lalit Kala Contemporary, Volumes 19 & 20, 1975). Born in Maharashtra in 1937, Nath began his formal training in Fine Art in Indore before receiving a Diploma from the Sir J.J. School of Art, Bombay, in 1960. His paintings are represented in prominent collections across India and abroad, including the Lalit Kala Akademi and the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, as well as the Jehangir Nicholson Art Foundation in Bombay.
