Happy Holi!

The spring "Festival of Colors" has been a popular subject of Indian painting for centuries; here is a detail of a relatively large panoramic scene produced at the court of the Nawabs of Avadh in present-day Uttar Pradesh in the 1760s:

A brief history of Indian painting: from Traditional to Modern Art

Introduction

Indian paintings have a long and varied history that spans ages and includes a wide range of styles and techniques. Indian paintings have changed and adapted to different times and influences, from delicate and detailed miniatures to the vibrant and colourful modern works of contemporary painters.

The origins of Indian paintings can be traced back to ancient times, when early civilizations created cave paintings and rock art. Indian paintings evolved a distinct style and purpose over time, reflecting the region's cultural, religious, and social traditions.

The entry of the British into India in the 18th century, however, brought about considerable changes in the art landscape. Indian art became a mix of traditional and modern styles when Western techniques and styles were added to it.

Traditional Indian Painting Styles

Indian paintings have a long and varied history, with traditional styles evolving over time. These styles represent the region's cultural, religious, and social traditions and have played a significant part in shaping India's cultural identity.

Miniature painting is one of the most important traditional Indian painting genres and was popularised in Mughal courts.

The courtly style, which originated in several regions of India throughout the mediaeval period, is another prominent traditional Indian painting style. These paintings were made for royal courts and represented scenes from court life such as hunts, processions, and conflicts. With rich colours and exquisite decorations, the courtly style was highly stylized and beautiful.

Regional styles have also had an impact on Indian paintings. Various parts of India developed distinct styles that were influenced by local customs, beliefs, and aesthetic traditions. The Rajasthani painting style, for example, was noted for its bold colours and highly stylized figures, whilst the Pattachitra painting style from Odisha was recognised for its complex line work and bright colours.

Traditional Indian painting techniques are significant because they capture the essence of Indian culture and history. These paintings have contributed significantly to the preservation of India's aesthetic legacy and traditions, and they continue to inspire current Indian painters today.

Rise of modern Indian paintings

The British establishment of art schools was a major contributor to the emergence of contemporary Indian art. Institutes, such as the Bombay Art School, gave Indian artists access to Western art instruction and techniques, fostering a new generation of painters capable of creating works that combined traditional and modern aspects.

The Western influence also brought about a new way of thinking about art and its place in society. Indian artists began experimenting with new forms and styles, combining elements of Western art with traditional Indian folk art and crafts.

The rise of modern Indian art paralleled the Indian independence struggle, as artists strove to create works that reflected the social and political developments taking place in India at the time. They used art as a form of protest and action to confront issues like poverty, social inequity, and political corruption. A new generation of Indian artists emerged as a result of the combination of traditional and modern components, as well as a new way of thinking about art and its function in society.

Après la belle retrospective Alice Neel fin 2022, le Centre Pompidou expose, jusqu’au 15 mai 2023, les oeuvres de l’artiste indien Sayed Haider Raza. La découverte est merveilleuse. Même si l’originalité de ce peintre réside dans ses toiles où les cultures occidentales et indiennes se fertilisent, la retrospective est parfaite pour comprendre l’évolution de l’artiste. Ses aquarelles de jeunesse représentant des paysages de Bombay ou de Benares, bien que classiques, témoignent déjà d’une grande maîtrise artistique. La première inflexion du style de Raza intervient à son arrivée en France dans les années 50. Il se rapproche de la nouvelle École de Paris et côtoie Bernard Buffet, Nicolas de Staël ou Zao Wou-Ki. L’héritage fauve et cubiste est encore présent. Les toiles de Raza embrassent ces courants. Ses paysages de Corse, de Provence et de Paris aux couleurs intenses évoquent le cubisme de Braque et le trait caractéristique de Buffet. Dans les années 60, professeur à Berkeley, Raza remarque les oeuvres de Mark Rothko. Son style, toujours puissamment colorée, évolue vers l’expressionnisme abstrait. La singularité de Raza explose quand il hybride ses toiles avec l’art des miniatures rajput et les peintures tantriques. L’œuvre Rajasthan I représente une nature indienne sublimée. Avec ses verts vibrants, son vermillon vif et ses ocres chauds, la toile est d’une intensité chromatique remarquable. Ce qualificatif sied bien à l’ensemble de cette rétrospective.

We heard that today is National Monkey Day, and here’s a perfect portrait for this day.

“A monumental portrait of a monkey” from India, circa, 1705-1710.

This strange looking monkey is named Husaini according to the inscription on the back of this work. This is relatively a large-format painting by early modern South Asian standards.

On a fun and lighter pop culture note, a print of this painting appears in the dining room of the family of Devi Vishvakumar, the main character of the Netflix comedy series “Never Have I Ever.” Has anybody noticed that?

A monumental portrait of a monkey The Stipple Master , Mughal painter, active c. 1692-1715 [artist] Mewar, Rajasthan, India ; Alternate: Mewar Princely State ; Alternate: Udaipur Princely State Opaque watercolor and gold on paper 48.5 centimeters; 58.7 centimeters Indian Rajasthani: Mewar c. 1705-1710 Repository: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States HOLLIS number: 8001311070

#Repost @topophilia.india with @make_repost ・・・ The arrival of photography possibly influenced the biggest change in traditional miniature paintings within the courts of India. This pair of royal portraits from Rajpipla in Gujarat feature Maharaja Gambhir Singh (1862-1915) and his unnamed Maharani. The image is possibly from 1897 when the ruler was crowned; a period when large format painted portraits were being created across Princely State’s based on photographs. While photography offered the comfort of what was purported to be real, painters were able to produce technicolor dreams that India favoured. Photographic images were typically enlarged, and the artist then got on to filling in color details, adding and embellishing elements that may or may not have featured in the original image. The use of a repetitive pattern for the floor was a common trope, as was the flower vase on cloth covered tables. The latter was frequently an aid to help keep the sitter still in these times of long exposure cameras. These images are heavily damaged around their edges, but the power and vitality of royal persona is nevertheless conveyed in carriage, clothing and the accessories worn. The confident stare heightens the drama. In my study of painted photographs and paintings inspired by photographs like these, one element that distinguishes most images is the hand of the artist. Some images are done by court painters whose careful knowledge of details and techniques comes thru in their work. The other group of artists are Bazaar painters, patronized by the non-elite cognoscenti. The portraits here are curious since in the depiction of details they are fairly accurate with well executed detailing while the choice of color palette is more akin to the bazaar style. Did two groups of painters come together in this creation? Indian art doesn’t reveal its secrets easily and we plod on seeing and seeking. #Portraiture #Portrait #Rajpipla #Gujarat #Painting #Photography #Maharaja #Maharani #20thcentury #Indianart #Indianpainting #Tiopotalks #India https://www.instagram.com/p/CervbVrv1zs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
