Sayed Haider Raza, “S H Raza” is one of the most respected Modernists of India and is celebrated for his range of styles and the uniqueness of his vision. His early forms reflect a mastery of abstraction and after years of travel, exploration, and experimentation, he returned to Indian visual idioms for inspiration in the late 1970s, culling from tantric imagery. SH Raza looked to forms as the bindu (seminal source of energy), beej (seed), and garbagraha (sanctum sanctorum or hallowed space) for inspiration. Furthermore, he ascribed color with symbolic meaning and transformed local visual traditions into universal yet deeply personal spiritual iconographies.) View Artist Collection

About Italian Village
Post Impressionist styled landscape-Syed Haider Raza’s Italian Village, painted in 1953. The composition is governed by a strict schema, an internal logic of line and space as buildings congregate in a cubist crescendo. The flat cubic rigidity and power of contour transforms this Italian vista into something seemingly uninhabitable and intangible. One solitary building placed in an earthy terrain in the foreground creates a perspective and harmony bridging the complex arrangement of buildings that dominate the upper half of the canvas. The corniced houses and abstract angular architecture and pronounced pediments are pierced by the stretching steeples and elongated chimneys. Beneath the subtle and subdued palette echoes a monumentality and magnificence rendering this village both silent and spiritual. This painting reveals a yearning for experimentation which is tempered only by a virtuosic control and maturity that has never left his oeuvre Sayed Haider Raza, “S H Raza” is one of the most respected Modernists of India and is celebrated for his range of styles and the uniqueness of his vision.
