Kaiko Moti
"Still Life"

circa 1975

About the Item

This beautiful modernist aquatint etching was realized by the esteemed Indian artist Kaiko Moti, circa 1975. It offers an abstracted and stylized tree branch (presumably that of a Cherry tree) replete with a wealth of blossoms sitting in a translucent acqua vase against a tan and dark teal background. With its beautiful color palate- consisting of rosy pinks, hunter greens and acqua- and beautiful artistry, this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of modern art, as well as those with a penchant for exquisite objects. It comes presented in a custom gilded frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The piece is signed by the artist in the lower right and numbered "31/120". Born in 1921 in Bombay, India, Moti studied at the Bombay School of Fine Art before moving to London, England in 1946, where he continued his art studies at the Slade School of Art of the University College. He later moved to Paris to study with the sculptor Ossip Zadkine in 1950, and two years later, with printmaker Stanley William Hayter. Notably, one of the artist’s motivations for transitioning from sculpture to printmaking was the small size of his studio in Paris. Moti went on to exhibit internationally at the Venice Biennale, the Basel Art Fair, and the New York Public Library, in addition to being named an honorary member of the Academy of Florence. The artist died in 1989 in Paris, France. Today, his works are in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris, among others.
