PAKISTANI WATERCOLOR PAINTING BY ABDUR CHUGHTAI
Est: $100 - $150
Abdur Rahman Chughtai, Pakistani, 1894 to 1975, watercolor painting on paper depicting a portrait of a woman in a manner influenced by Indo Persian and Mughal art. Signed lower left. Abdur Chughtai is known for Figural painting, of female figures. Abdur Rahman Chughtai is remembered today as possibly the most distinguished Pakistani artist of the 20th century. His work draws from a shared South Asian cultural heritage, and he was one of the few Pakistani artists to be recognized in India before and after the 1947 partition. Chughtai began his training at the Mayo School of Art in Lahore in 1911, where he was taught by Samarendranath Gupta, himself a pupil of Abanindranath Tagore. The influence of the Bengal School is visible in Chughtais early work, but what distinguishes Chughtai is his exceptional skill as a draughtsman. Many of his paintings were large format exuberant, expansive works rendered in soft, meditative colors and bold, flowing lines. One of a kind artwork.

PAKISTANI WATERCOLOR PAINTING BY ABDUR CHUGHTAI
Est: $100 - $150
Abdur Rahman Chughtai, Pakistani, 1894 to 1975, watercolor painting on paper depicting a genre scene with a woman and a camel made in a manner influenced by Indo Persian and Mughal art. Signed lower left. Framed. Abdur Chughtai is known for Figural painting, female figures. Abdur Rahman Chughtai is remembered today as possibly the most distinguished Pakistani artist of the 20th century. His work draws from a shared South Asian cultural heritage, and he was one of the few Pakistani artists to be recognized in India before and after the 1947 partition. Chughtai began his training at the Mayo School of Art in Lahore in 1911, where he was taught by Samarendranath Gupta, himself a pupil of Abanindranath Tagore. The influence of the Bengal School is visible in Chughtais early work, but what distinguishes Chughtai is his exceptional skill as a draughtsman. Many of his paintings were large format exuberant, expansive works rendered in soft, meditative colors and bold, flowing lines. One of a kind artwork.
