Academy of Fine Arts and Literature
A lovely creature, the little dog turns back to ascertain if the call made from behind is for it. Legs’ forward thrust, subdued back and raised neck correspond exactly to its mental state. For underlining the role of eye the artist has magnified it using around it a dual blue ring, and to portray the agitation in the mind, a texture of red laced beads. Commissioned by Arpana Caur, an eminent Indian artist, she requested the Gond artist Janagarh to leave the rest of the figure free of details which makes this look very contemporary. Janagarh was the father of a whole school of painting, the pioneer whose tragic suicide in Japan due to exploitation by a middleman reflects the vulnerability of these artists in front of market forces. The current Gond artists including his relatives are ardent followers of his unique style and his legacy.
