Catalogue Note

Gujral's paintings have never been purely abstract, but in the early 1960's a style gradually evolved in his work in which line, texture and color became as important as the subject.  He projected ideas through form and design to create the mood of his work.  This group of three paintings with its sombre palette is typical of this early period.
