Hiraman Tota
Housed in the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) , Delhi ... are some of the most priceless and beautiful works of legendry Indian artists ... some of them dating back to times before the politically motivated partitioning of India and Pakistan ... Chugtai M.A.R ... is one of those ... up there, on the wall of India's Grandmasters ...
Omar Khayyam
... I recently swiped from my mother-in-law ... the prints of some of his works ... can't help but be drawn to these pieces ... talking about works of an artist of his stature ... I honestly feel I got to go mind my own bussiness ... but I love these works and here is what I feel about them ... (all professional art critics please excuse ) ... :)
Laila
... there's some thing very dainty about his strokes and the features of his subjects... I love the way he draws the eyes ... the sway in his strokes is makes me want to hum along :) ... there is a sure marked styling ref . to the miniature style paintings, of Mughal India and Persia ...
Dream
... some of his these works are tempera on paper ... and ofcourse his subjects are from all over the subcontinent ... be it this Radha-Krishan in Dream ... or OmarKhayyam ... Hiraman Tota ... Laila ... with the Islamic references ...
Radhika
... hope you also enjoyed the work of Chugtai M.A.R ... an artist who lived (1899-1975) ... even before I was born ... :) but is loved and revered to this day ... one of the great Indian Masters ... :)
