Indian
Large planes of unmixed blue, green and white paint applied with palette knife on top of a dark green background to create a vertically-oriented, highly textured abstraction. Small bits of red ground can be found in places of chipping paint, suggesting that the canvas was unprimed and potentially recycled by the artist. Gaitonde often worked in a meditative state. Vasudeo Gaitonde was one of India's principle abstractionists and worked from New Dehli during the majority of his career. In 1971 he received the Padma Shri, one of the highest civilian awards given in India.
