DESCRIPTION
Hari Ambadas Gade was a founding member of the Progressive Artists’ Group and a pioneering abstract expressionist of post-independence India. He is known for his distinct landscape compositions and vibrant colour palette. Born in 1917 in Maharashtra Gade's early academic background in science influenced his geometric and structured art style. This painting exemplifies his mastery by depicting a solitary tree against a warm ochre background. Gade's work reflects his unique ability to blend traditional landscape elements with modern abstract forms and capture the essence of nature in brilliant hues.
