K. H. Ara
Krishnaji Howlaji Ara (April 16, 1914 – June 30, 1985〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://theory.tifr.res.in/bombay/leisure/art/kh-ara.html )〕) was an Indian painter and is seen as the first contemporary Indian painter to meticulously use the female nude as a subject.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.saffronart.com/artists/k--ara )〕 He was a part of the Progressive Artists' Group in Bombay and was a founder of the Artists’ Centre in Mumbai. Opinions about Ara’s works remain divided with his critics accusing them of lacking perfection and not referenced from life.
== Early life ==
Ara was born in Bolarum, Secunderabad in April 1914, the son of a chauffeur. His mother died when he was three and his father remarried. He ran away from home to Mumbai when he was seven. The city remained his home until his death in 1985.〔
In Mumbai he earned a living by cleaning cars and later found employment with an English family as a houseboy. While employed he nevertheless found time to engage with his passion for painting and it soon caught the attention of first Rudy von Leyden, an art critic from the Times of India, and then Walter Langhammer, the Editor of the Illustrated Weekly of India. Langhammer was so impressed by Ara’s skill that had him enrolled at the J.J. School of Art.
Ara participated in the Salt Satyagraha during the Civil Disobedience Movement and was jailed for five months. He later found employment with a Japanese firm as a car cleaner.〔 Later, on India's independence he created a large canvas depicting an Independence Day procession of a multitude of Indian people in exuberant celebrations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.indianartcircle.com/arteducation/ara.shtml )〕
