K H Ara
(1914 - 1985)

Untitled (Nude)



Ara's nudes were "...massive bodies, usually with their backs to the viewer. The folds of flesh rarely arouse any tenderness or even titillation. Indeed, if anything, they create a feeling of a spreading largeness that can take over the entire pictorial space." (Yashodhara Dalmia, "The Stillness of Life: Krishnaji Howlaji Ara", The Making of Modern Indian Art: The Progressives, New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2001, p. 135)
