"Girl in Love", one of the most famous paintings by the Indian modernist master Tyeb Mehta, is a disarming painting that revels in the naive fragility of humanity. Rendered with a touching sense of femininity and innocence, the subject of this painting is helpless; powerless to her condition, her love. The air of melancholy on this young girl's countenance perhaps suggests a love lost, unrequited or unanswered. "Girl in Love" is a rare example of the subtle vulnerability of the artist's early paintings, which preceded his gestural abstracted style of the 1960s. This exposure was a fundamental and formative moment in Mehta's career, allowing him to assimilate and reinterpret the visual vocabulary of the European modernists.
