Manjit Bawa, Indian, 1941 to 2008, oil painting on canvas depicting a scene with a bull and a tiger, 1989. Signed and dated, on the backside. Completed with an original certificate of authenticity, signed by Manmohan Singh Bawa, brother of Late Manjit Bawa. Manjit Bawa, born in Dhuri, Punjab, India, was an Indian painter. Manjit Bawas canvases are distinguishable in their colors, the ochre of sunflowers, the green of the paddy fields, the red of the sun, the blue of the mountain sky. He was one of the first painters to break out of the dominant grays and browns and opted for more traditionally Indian colors like pinks, reds and violet. Livestock such as cows, goats and bulls are an important subject for the artist, embodying the theme of the coexistence of all creatures. Squirrels are considered sacred by Hindus and are not to be harmed. Collectible Contemporary Fine Art, Southeast Asian Artists. One of a kind artwork.
