Govind Madhav Solegaonkar. (1912-1986).
The gouache is double-sided (sacred cows) and signed on the back.
Some small spots on the edges that do not interfere with the work.
Solegaonkar was born in 1912 in Sehore in India in the state of Madhya Pradesh and studied in Indore and Bombay.
Then he joined the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art in Bombay (which was also the school of MF Husain SH Raza, VS Gaitonde).
Between 1934 and 1937, he was a member of the Indore group with NS Bendre, DJ Joshi, and MS Joshi, a group whose influence was significant in Bombay. He obtained the Bombay Art Society Gold Medal in 1935 and became the India Art Society of India Trophy Laureate in 1953.
Solegaonkar specializes in murals, portraits and landscapes. The artist was never satisfied and experimented with several styles which confronted realism, then abstract landscaping and the simplification of forms until the explosion of colors.
In 1958, the artist left India for Europe, and notably traveled to Holland, England and Belgium.
When he returns a few years later, his style has completely changed. He exhibited at Jehangir Art Gallery in 1962 and at the Taj Art Gallery in 1970. In July 1971, 40 of his works were exhibited at India House in London. He died on January 5, 1986.
His works are notably presented at The Rajya Sabha in New Delhi, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and the CSMVS Museum in Bombay
