Films had long been a part of M.F. Husain's preoccupation as an artist and one of the main sources of material and inspiration for his works as seen here. His exposure to the cinema had started early in his career after getting his start in painting cinema hoardings. This has influenced his art in the same manner as his experiences with literature and mythology did. Even the technique of depicting different scenes and symbology or juxtaposing apparently unconnected or even contrary elements in a single frame can be attributed to this influence to some extent.

Sayed Haider Raza first painted the Bindu in the late 1970s as a single solid black dot that lay unmoving at the centre of a field of colours. Through the years, however, this circle or bindu manifested itself in various forms in his works and took on several different meanings, as zero, drop, or seed. It became less of a graphical component and more as the focal point on which Raza structured his canvases.

Likening his monochromatic works to his spiritual journey, Raza posited: "I have found a divine quest in me to come to the essentials. Less is more. And I thought, that to express my aspirations to the divine, I would use fewer colours, to create a sacred feel."

Jamil Naqsh is one of those few artists who believed, and very strongly so, that the roots of good visual expression lie in one’s expertise in drawing. From his earliest days as an artist until the height of his fame as a leading painter in Pakistan, he has never given up drawing.

His drawings bear testimony, not only of his skill as a draughtsman but also of his unparalleled ability in projecting his imagination into paper while maintaining an emotive ambience and preserving his aesthetics.

The subject of woman and pigeon has been close to his heart for many years with some of his drawings dating back as early as 1965 - he studied the lovely feathered creature and the female form religiously, drawing and painting them in multitudinous postures.

He also made several hundred drawings of horses in countless variations, fascinated by the energy, agility, and beauty they represent. The artist drew the equine form for decades mostly in pen and ink, on occasion using pencil, and sometimes with a bit of color wash to give them dimension.

“Sensitivity to the human presence has been Akbar Padamsee's obsession, inspiration, and purpose of his art. Direct in a nearly-tactile way, but also sublimated and universalized, his heads and nudes initially exude a feeling of almost real persons. Gradually, however, they reveal themselves as distanced and generalized.

Sometimes strong, even harsh in their impact, and sometimes indistinct and ethereal. Padamsee's images are never portraits of identifiable people. In fact, they resemble a residual vision after an encounter. An aura is left by a presence transposed in the memory. They come through like quick notations of transitory meetings, the heads and bodies deeply attuned to what is experienced within them, while also absorbing the proximity of their surroundings, especially other human presences. The background becomes a part of the human situation imprinting it character and compulsions on people, and in turn, being influenced by them - the process both violent and soothing.” (Marta Jakimowicz, Tracing Shadows of the Sublime, Akbar Padamsee Works on Paper - Critical Boundaries, Pundole Art Gallery, Mumbai, 2004).

The subject of horses had been a fascination to Sunil Das since his early days as an artist. Deeply interested in the equine form and anatomy, he spent most of his days researching them. He frequented racetracks to watch these creatures and visit them at the stable when they rest, to gain valuable insight into their behaviour. He portrayed them in innumerable variations - at rest or while in motion - exploring their quiet strength and grace.

But unlike any other artists' works on these majestic beasts through the ages, Sunil Das' horses were articulated with remarkable precision and subtlety in the myriad of moods and movements they are in. He used fluid lines to reflect movement and gave them a dynamic quality in their dissected structures.

By 1959, his Horses gained critical acclaim and marked the beginning of his successful career as an artist. It also gave him the reputation as a renowned painter of horses, receiving the moniker 'Ghora Sunil' (Horse Sunil) in the early 1960s.

K. Laxma Goud is a distinguished painter, printmaker, and draughtsman. He works with a variety of mediums including sculpture and glass painting, but he is most recognized for his graceful yet powerful line drawings, etchings, and watercolours.

By the late 1960s, Goud had developed a distinct style with finely chiseled and pliant lines that he used to depict man's interaction with nature. According to Goud, 'there is eroticism in nature itself." He explores man's connection to his environment and creates simple images reflecting an idyllic reality that is slowly being threatened by urbanization. His work depicts his keen eye for details reflecting on the indicative innocence and simplicity of rural life. He executed them in a miniature format, in an attempt to create an intimate atmosphere. These rustic and raw portraits of men and women represent the dynamic Indian ethos rather than their identities.

Notable for the women-centric universe of his work, Thota Vaikuntam’s focal point of inspiration is his devotion to his beloved mother, Satyamma, which he fondly referred to as his fountain of creativity. He also drew inspiration extensively from women, primarily strong women and mother figures(…) These sketches soon came to include the priests, the teachers, the labourers and the farmers, usually in charcoal, or pen or ink with occasional watercolour. The artist posits, “I’ve taken from my people in Telangana. I draw them.

I take my colours from them. I’ve taken details from their everyday lives, stylized them and make them look grand. That’s my intention.” His work bears a witness to his love for rural life, his innate knowledge for his subjects, and a desire to create a picture of the innocent world untouched and uncorrupted by ‘civilized society. Like many of his contemporaries, he has tried to seek new inspiration in tradition and culture and has managed to develop his style as embodied in his paintings of Telangana beauties.

2.1. Artiana’s role as the agent of the Seller:Artiana undertakes to sell the Properties through Auction as the agent for and on behalf of the Seller.

2.2. Making a Bid constitutes an irrevocable offer to purchase the Property, and the acceptance of a Bid as the Winning Bid by Artiana shall result in an enforceable contract of sale between Artiana, acting solely as the agent of the Seller, and the Winning Bidder.

2.3. Artiana is authorised by the Seller to exercise its complete discretion in: • determining the form and content of the Descriptions in the Auction Catalogue, • granting Bidding access to a Bidder, • recording, rejecting or accepting Bids, and • deciding which Bid constitutes the Winning Bid, if any.

(Bidding access shall be given at Artiana’s discretion and Artiana may set limits on the total value of all Bids made and/or the number of Bids that may be made by a Bidder.Artiana may also require payment guarantees and/or deposits as a condition precedent to giving Bidding access to a Bidder. Bidders will be informed of the limits on the total Bid value and/or the number of Bids that they may make, if any, and will not be allowed to Bid further if either of such Bidding limit has been exhausted. Bid updates and time extensions, if any, shall be updated on the Website and Mobile Application. On both the Website and the Mobile App, Bidders may refresh their Bidding pages by clicking on the “Refresh Now” icon or the re-load/refresh buttons on their browsers, where applicable. Artiana shall evaluate the Bid histories of specific Lot Groups periodically to preserve the efficacy of the Auction process.This exercise may be conducted by Artiana internally or through third parties solely at the discretion of Artiana.)

2.4. Closing Times For the convenience of Bidders, particularly those who are placing Bids on more than one Lot, Lot Groups are scheduled to close at 30-minute time intervals during the Auction.

The Bidding for various Lot Groups shall be closed in accordance with the Auction Closing Schedule. However, in the event that Artiana records any Bidding activity in the 5 minutes prior to the

closing of a Lot, the Closing Time for such a Lot shall be extended by 5 minutes from its originally scheduled Closing Time.The Closing Time shall continue to be extended in 5-minute increments for any subsequent Bidding received in the 5 minutes prior to the closing of such Lot. In the event that the Closing Time is extended in accordance with this Clause, bidding on the Lot shall only end if no Bidding activity is recorded by Artiana during the last 5 minutes of extended time. Bidders are advised to click on the “Refresh Now” icon on the Website page or in the Mobile Application at regular intervals in accordance with the provisions of Clause 2.5 for updates on latest Bids and time extensions if any.

2.5. Tracking Bids The Website shall contain a link titled ‘Lots I Bid On’ within the page ‘Current Auction’ and the Bidder may click on this link to access information on all Bids made on various Lots. For ease of tracking Bids, Bidders are advised to assign Bidding nicknames to themselves.

The Website and Mobile Application shall contain: • The Bid history for each Lot, being the last 5 Bid amounts that have been recorded until and including the current highest Bid; and • A countdown clock indicating the amount of time available for placing Bids before the Closing Time.

The Bid history, current Bid, and countdown clock shall be accurate at the time of downloading of those values, provided that such information has not changed during the time taken for this information to reach the Bidder’s computer or mobile device from the Artiana Server.The most updated Bid values shall be shown only when the Website page or the Mobile Application page containing the information on Bid values is refreshed; which shall happen either automatically at regular intervals (Every 5 minutes prior to one hour before the closing time of the first Lot/Lot Group and every 1 minute within the last hour of the closing time of the first Lot/Lot Group and shall continue refreshing every minute till the close of the last Lot/Lot Group) or when a Bidder clicks on the ‘Refresh Now’ icon on the Website page or in the Mobile Application page.

When the countdown clock counts down to zero, in the case where the Closing Time with respect to a particular Lot has been extended by a further 5 minutes pursuant to Clause 2.4 above, the countdown clock may not reflect such extension. As such, the Bidder may wait for the values on the page to refresh automatically on the Website, or click on the ‘Refresh Now’ link on the page or in the Mobile Application to determine whether the Closing Time has been extended for that Lot. The countdown clock combined with the current highest Bid as shown in the Bid history on the Website shall only be an indication of the highest Bid amount at the time when the values on the Website or Mobile Application were refreshed in the manner set out in Clause 2.5 above. Should bidders want more frequent updates, they are advised to refresh values as described in Clause 2.5 in order to view the most updated Bid history and countdown clock.

Due to the nature of internet and/or mobile traffic, there may be an unpredictable time lag between a Bidder placing a Bid, and that Bid being received by Artiana.Therefore, although a Bidder may have placed his/her Bid prior to Closing Time, Artiana may receive the Bid after the Closing Time for the Lot with respect to which the Bid has been placed and shall, in such an event, be rejected. In order to prevent Bids being rejected in such a manner, Bidders may set Proxy Bids/Maximum Bids for Lots on which they wish to Bid.

Lot 37

One of India’s important post-modernist painters, Sunil Das rose to prominence with his drawing of horses. Das came from a middle class family and his father was just a small businessman. After school, he decided to become a painter and joined a local art school.A French art scholarship with the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts took him to Europe. It was in the course of his travels that he chanced to spend a few months in Spain, where he developed his passion for horses and bulls. Das’ paintings have also been influenced by his study of sculpture at Santiniketan, Kolkata, and his study of graphic art in Paris. His paintings have a kind of structure and rigidity that one would typically find in sculpture and in the etchings of graphic art.They not only express the physical attributes of his subjects but also their associative ones. Every once in a while he paints human beings, but his depiction of the human anatomy is skewed, to a point that it almost borders on macabre surrealism. Das has the distinction of being the only Indian artist to have won a National Award (the Shiromani Kala Puraskar) while still an undergraduate at the Government College of Art and Craft, Kolkata. Besides having been featured in several exhibitions, his works are also a part of the collections of renowned museums such as the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, the Glenbarra Art Museum, Japan, and the Ludwig Museum, Germany.
