Head (Kali), 1996 Framed Print
Framed with Mat •
14x18 inches
"Head (Kali), 1996", a famous painting from the series Kali by the Indian master Tyeb Mehta, executed in a limited palette depicts howling Kali, glutted with carnality and massacre. The composition is as elegant as it is haunting, as Mehta exquisitely synthesizes complex psychological and metaphysical notions of suffering, violence and trauma. For Mehta, Kali was both a harbinger of destruction, and a portent of the end of violence in her ability to contain and destroy ignorance and malevolence. the present lot equally illuminates the creative and destructive powers, the forgiveness and the vengeance, that her figure represents.
