S H Raza, 'Rajasthan', 1972 | 25th Anniversary Evening Sale, 27 September 2025

Saffronart President and Co-Founder Minal Vazirani examines the significance of S H Raza's 1972 painting, Rajasthan, which represents a crucial period of transition in his artistic practice during the 1970s, driven by a renewed engagement with India. Drawing on the ancient Rasa theory in Indian aesthetics and Jain and Rajput miniature traditions, he evokes the scorching desert landscape and bright textiles of Rajasthan. Colour takes on a heightened importance not just as a formal element but also for its strong emotive value.
