A vintage Indian Abstract oil on board painting by Ram Kumar, 1963. The painting depicts abstract composition in dark shades. Signed and dated 1963 lower right. The label from Galerie Iris Clert is on the backside. Ram Kumar, 1924 to 2018, was among Indias leading modernists. He studied Economics at St. Stephens College, New Delhi, in 1946. Following this, he went to Paris to study painting under Andre Lhote and Fernand Leger in 1949-1952. Ram Kumar, like many of his confreres among the first generation of post-colonial Indian artists including such figures as F N Souza, M F Husain, Paritosh Sen, Jehangir Sabavala, Krishen Khanna, S H Raza, and Akbar Padamsee combined an internationalist desire with the need to belong emphatically to their homeland.
