"Untitled" – S.H. RAZA (1922–2016)
A watercolour painting depicting a majestic colonial-era building with domes and minarets rising prominently against a softly clouded sky. The structure is rendered in warm earthy tones, with hints of brick red and sandstone yellow, set amidst patches of greenery and a broad avenue. Signed in the lower right corner: "S.H. Raza."
Sayed Haider Raza was a foundational figure in Indian modern art, known for his evolution from expressionistic landscapes to abstract spiritual geometry, particularly the symbolic bindu. A co-founder of the Progressive Artists’ Group in post-independence Bombay, Raza spent much of his career in France while maintaining a deep connection to Indian philosophy and aesthetics. Honoured with the Padma Vibhushan and numerous global accolades, Raza remains one of the most celebrated Indian artists of the 20th century.
