Lot 17
Bashir Mirza (Pakistani, 1941-2000)Untitled (Flowers in a Vase) signed and dated 'BM 91 RN' lower leftacrylic on board, framed69.5 x 54.4cm (27 3/8 x 21 7/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, Singapore.Acquired from the artist;Thence by descent to the present owner.Bashir Mirza was renowned for his unique style and artistic vision. Never one to paint the same subject, he constantly sought to reinvent himself. Oscillating between figuration and abstraction, BM's works reflect his moods and environment.Known to have dabbled in various endeavours and having stopped painting altogether between 1973-1988 to concentrate on his advertising business, his return to art was the result of his desire to be remembered as a painter. More importantly perhaps, 1988 witnessed Francis Newton Souza's second trip to Pakistan. Unlike Souza's first trip however, when he stayed with Wahab Jaffer and held an exhibition of his works at Ali Imam's Indus Gallery, on his second outing Souza stayed with BM, and even used his studio. This had a great impact on BM, as it not only reignited BM's desire to paint, but also introduced him to a new way to paint. Souza taught BM how to make fast paintings by using acrylic to obtain instant results. This gestural style was seen in his series of works which included Two Faces and Head, both from 1990, and is also evident in the present lot, painted in 1991. Created using six colours, orange, white, blue, green, yellow, and red, there is an emotional intensity to this work. The vase dominates the composition and together with the stems and flowers appears to have been painted using the same thick brushstroke consistency, as if painted in a hurry. Details are obsolete and there is an insatiable lust for paint. The colours and strokes are the main subject with the vase and flowers catering to them. The style, which is unmistakably BM, reflects how he viewed his life. He wanted to be famous, wealthy, and powerful, and in his book, Bashir Mirza: Acrylic Series, 1984-1994, published in the mid-1990s, he mentioned that he had achieved many of his dreams. This is perhaps the reason why he has signed the work using only his initials and was able to paint in this style. The other initials which appear beneath his, belonged to the owner's grandfather, who acquired the work from the artist.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Krishna Hawlaji Ara (India, 1914-1985)Untitled (Flowers in a Vase) signed 'Ara' lower rightwatercolour on board, framed76.2 x 55.9cm (30 x 22in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, Florida.Acquired from India in the 1930s;Acquired from the Estate sale of the above.The life of K.H. Ara was marked by a constant struggle for survival, yet he persisted with his love for art and desire to paint. His relationship with his father and step-mother were challenging and this forced him to abandon his home for Bombay where he worked as a domestic servant. Caught up in the independence movement, he lost his job after partaking in Gandhi's salt satyagraha, which led to his imprisonment. This represented the beginning of a social and political awareness that eventually led to the creation of the Progressive Artists Group alongside five of the most influential modernist artists in India. Here, Ara found the intellectual and formal encouragement that allowed him to further develop his artistic production and define his style. In 1942 he had his first solo show and in 1944 he was awarded the Governor's Prize at the Bombay Society Annual exhibition. Later in his career, his exhibitions became less frequent, as he dedicated most of his later life to helping upcoming artists. Ara remained in India where he died in 1985.When discussing his artistic production, Ara's lack of formal training is surprising. However, the absence of academic limitations was an advantage that gave his works a raw authenticity. His paintings were free from the structures imposed by the classical standards of the Bengal school and the Western ideals of fine art. Often described as the most intuitive member of the PAG, Ara succeeded in using classical devices to expand the language of his painting, evolving his signature style that loudly emerged from his very early works. Although he is usually compared to Cezanne and Matisse, it would be reductive to think of his work as a mere reflection of Western modernism. Although European modernism represented a source of inspiration, his and the PAG's artistic production was deeply rooted in the historical and social context of 1940s India, the liberation from colonialism and the definition of a newly rediscovered national identity alongside a place of Indian art in the world. Due to his intuitive grasp of the principles of modernism Ara revitalised the entire genre of 'Still Life' in India. Still Life, specifically vases of flowers, represents the hallmark of his artistic production. This painting Untitled (Flowers in a Vase) is an exquisite example of Ara's style and is characterised by a roughness in both drawing and the application of the paint, that seems to overflow from one form to the other. The minimal attention to details and the predominance of colours is evident. Petals merge into each other and yet the choice of different colours makes every single flower stand out in a vibrant bouquet. Particularly significant is the use of white that is frequently applied by the artist to create forms, connect shapes, differentiate the space, and modulate depth and volume. This work demonstrates Ara's ability to turn an apparently till subject into a dynamic triumph of colours.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
