About the Item

Manu Parekh is one of India's best known and respected artist's. He is from a generation of Indian artist's who have both a great generosity of spirit and are humble about their contribution to the formation of modern Indian Art. Manu Parekh, colour lithograph Year: 1973 Edition: 31/50 Sheet size: 37.6 x 50.4 cm Plate size: 26 x 32 cm Manu Parekh is from a family of artists, his wife Madhvi and daughter Manisha are both established and recognised artists in their own right. The family is a pivitol part of the contemporary art scene. Parekh is an artist that continually questions his practise and moves fluidly between mediums; painting, drawing and printmaking. Born in Gujarat in 1939 he witnessed one of the most harrowing of events of the 20th century, Partition. Ruptures often create a questioning and like many other artists Parekh found himself wondering what is was that he should be trying to portray in his art. Trained at the JJ school in Mumbai he also worked at another of the great institutions of creative production, just outside of Calcutta. He spent many years painting at Benares, the most holiest of cities on the banks of the Ganges. It is these later painting that he perhaps better known for. However, like many artists there is much about Manu Parekh's work that we do not know. He does not think of his work in terms of a steady progression over the decades. It would be interesting to understand what the image in this lithograph makes reference to. What we can see, are a palette of colours, eclectic and bright that he has used throughout his career, in particular the vibrant purple and strong orange. It is believed this print was made for a portfolifo of Limited Edition Prints by leading Indian artists for the Lalit Kala Akademi (The fine Art Academy) in Delhi.
