Est: £20,000 - £30,000
USTAD ALLAH BUX (PAKISTAN 1895-1978) Untitled (Family Scene) Signed lower right Oil on canvas 109 x 44.5cm (42 15/16 x 17 1/2in). Provenance Private UK collection Gift from the artist in the early 1950s to Ghulam Nabi Malik, principle of Mayo school of Art, Lahore from 1947 -1954. Thence by descent. Born in Wazirabad, a town in Punjab, in 1885, Allah Bux had become an accomplished signboard painter at a very young age. In 1914 he travelled to Bombay where he worked in various establishments as a photographer, retouch artist and portrait and landscape painter at the Bombay Art Studio. In 1919 he returned to Lahore. He painted popular scenes of Hindu Mythology. Allah Bux’s beautiful work caught the eye of the Maharajah of Patiala, where he lived and worked until he moved to Lahore permanently. His focus on Hindu iconography and his free movement between what became India and Pakistan was telling of a pre partitional shared visual identity. Once settled in the newly formed Pakistan, Allah Bux looked to a regional history of his homeland of Punjab for inspiration. He created idyllic scenes of villagers, festivities and folk tales. This earned him much popularity with Pakistani patrons, who would commission ‘Punjabi’ themed paintings, such as this example, directly from Allah Bux. The colours are vibrant for the setting but there is a softness to Allah Bux’s paintings. The delicate glinting jewellery and gold embroidery on the clothes is masterfully highlighted in Allah Bux’s paintings. Charming details such as the little girl’s doll or baby’s rattle demonstrate the level of attention Allah Bux gave his canvases. The composition of this piece is quite typical of Allah Bux, overlapping figures in order to depict as many characters as possible in the space available. Allah Bux was not just creating a whimsical romanticised scene, he was creating a narrative of a golden age, an innocence pre dating the war and bloodshed of partition and independence.
