Lot 0123: INDIAN MIXED MEDIA PAINTING BY RAM GOPAL VIJAIVARGIYA

41 reviews

Ram Gopal Vijaivargiya, Indian, 1905 to 2003, mixed media painting on paper depicting a portrait of a semi nude woman with snakes in a mountain landscape. Signed in Marathi, lower right. Additionally inscribed in Marathi, on the backside. Born in Baler, Rajasthan in 1906, Ramgopal Vijaivargiya found his inspiration from the Bengal School of painting though he remained wholly unattached to any particular school of Indian art.At the time, Ramgopal Vijaivargiya was 30, and had sold nearly 1000 paintings in the small space of the Indian art world of the 1930s. R C Tandan noticed his talent and printed an album of a few select works for the Hindustani Academy in Allahabad, which were later displayed at exhibitions in Calcutta and Bombay. Vijaivargiya had a strong individualistic sense as a student of Hindu mythology, and his themes have a wide range, grading from the spiritual at one end to the almost erotic at the other, all characterized in their execution by a certain suppleness and grace of lines. One of a kind artwork.
