Untitled (Women fishing),
Tempera on card, signed to right AA Almelkar, framed, reverse of frame with Chemould Gallery Label
27 x 26cm.
Provenance: Property of a Gentleman
A.A. Almelkar (1920 - 1982), not directly related to the revivalist movement at [Bombay's Sir] J.J. [School of Art], was friendly with artists from the Progressive Artists’ Group. But he was obsessed with Indian miniatures along with tribal and folk traditions. His paintings after 1952, are truly Indian in character and full of rhythm, enhanced by a rich texture and the graceful serpentine black line, encompassing various forms into a coherent whole. The painting of a tribal girl, ‘Bride’ is an example of Almelkar’s signature style.'
- Excerpt from S. Bahulkar and D. Ghare, 'Artists of the Bombay School'
