ATTR TO RAM KUMAR INDIAN EXPRESSIONIST PAINTING - Attributed to Ram Kumar, 1924 to 2018, Indian, acrylic on paper painting depicting an Expressionist cityscape. Dated 1995. Inscribed on the backside. Born in 1924 in Simla, Ram Kumar 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 Fernard Leger in 1949 to 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. In its internationalist mood, this generation looked to the early 20th century modernisms of Paris, London and Vienna for inspiration. Modern Indian Fine Art, and Collectibles.
