Footnotes

Provenance: Private UK Collection; bought in Paris in the 1960s, thence by descent.

At the beginning of his career in the 1950s, Raza was based in Paris. His art was inspired by the landscapes and colours of nightfall in France. In Lot 369 and 370, Raza has used the styles of French impressionists Paul Cezanne, Eduard Manet and Camille Pissarro bonded with colours of India in his work. The deep hues of blue fused with black and highlighted with the rich summer shades of red, orange and yellow create strong and striking images for the audience.
