Two Bengal School wash Watercolours Signed and Dated 1917 Calcutta Tagore N Bose

1917

Company School C 1820 Watercolour on Paper Image Size: 31 x 47 cm Frame Size: 49.5 x 65 cm Label Verso Abbott & Holder, London A fabulous and intriguing early, large watercolour, by an Indian artist. This painting warrants further research. The image shows European buildings on what appears to be the banks of The Hooghly River in Eastern India (Bengal). This was an area favoured and painted by early landscape artists as the Europeans were active along the river which was the prime route for the movement of goods and people. Without the group of figures to the foreground this painting could have been painted by Sita Ram or one the artists travelling with him (seen in the overall perspective and the rendition of the buildings, the boats in the water...

This atmospheric Folk Art painting on board is by the fabulous British Canadian artist Nancy Patterson. It comes from her series ‘Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon’ , a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom, made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The paintings tell the narratives, the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years has become her home. Artwork details: Nancy Patterson, 'The Desert Fox', acrylics on mahogany plywood, unframed 24cm x 25cm, 2005. Initialed on the front. Provenance, directly from the artist studio. Condition: in excellent condition. There is something very comforting about the term Folk Art, derived from the idea that a work of art is firmly rooted in the community it depicts. Folk Art can initiate feelings of splendid joy. It is often misjudged as holding less regard that some of its fine-art cousins but we need look no further than the fabulous British artist Alfred Wallis or the captivating Canadian painter Maud Lewis to understand that Folk Art can be just as complex in its formal arrangements, compositions and choice of colour palette. Another myth, possibly by those who could not explain the beauty in the Folk Art form, is that this type of art is the sole premise of artists who have had no formal training. There is something intriguing about paintings by the moonlight. Nancy uses the effect to emphasis the three main characters, herself, Daoud and the fox! Nancy narrates the painting, 'Daoud on his way to meet a local Elder, known as the Desert Fox, while a four legged Fox lurks about the background. Most men in the desert area around Mhamid wear traditional garments- a Gandoura (on Daoud) or a Djellaba (on the Fox) which look elegant when the wearer is just standing around or sitting on a camel, but a little strange on a bicycle or motorbike with a Shesh (turban) flowing in the breeze. A Shesh makes any man look good, and provides protection from sun and wind; almost all Moroccan men wear a Shesh most of the time, except when donning an unsuitable for the climate, western suit...
