Tyeb Mehta
Tyeb Mehta (25 July 1925 – 2 July 2009) was a noted Indian painter. He was part of the noted Bombay Progressive Artists' Group, which included greats like F.N. Souza, S.H. Raza and M.F. Husain, and the first post-colonial generation of artists in India, like John Wilkins who also broke free from the nationalist Bengal school and embraced Modernism instead, with its Post-Impressionist colours, Cubist forms and brusque, Expressionistic styles.
Among his most noted later paintings were his triptych ''Celebration'', which when sold for Rs 15 million ($317,500) at a Christie's auction in 2002, was not only the highest sum for an Indian painting at an international auction, but also triggered the subsequent great Indian art boom; his other noted works were the 'Diagonal Series', ''Santiniketan triptych'' series, ''Kali'', ''Mahishasura'' (1996).〔(Artist Tyeb Mehta dies after long illness ) Reuters, 2 July 2009.〕 He stayed and worked in Mumbai for much of his life, except for three spells at London, New York, and Santiniketan, each having a distinct impact upon his work. He received several awards during his career including the Padma Bhushan by Govt. of India in 2007.〔(Tyeb Mehta stood for hope over hype ) Nina Martyris, Times of India, 3 July 2009.〕〔(Tyeb Mehta, who weaved metaphor into images passes away ) The Economic Times, 3 July 2009.〕〔(Tyeb Mehta was Indias most expensive living artist, also its finest ) Kishore Singh, Business Standard, 3 July 2009.〕
==Early life and education==
Tyeb Mehta was born on 26 September 1925 in Kapadvanj, a town of Kheda district, the Indian state of Gujarat. He was brought up in the Crawford Market neighbourhood of Mumbai, populated by Dawoodi Bohras. At 22 years, during the partition riots of 1947 in Mumbai, while staying at Lehri House, Mohammed Ali Road, he witnessed a man being stoned to death by a mob, this he not only expressed in a drawing but it was to have lasting impact on his work, leading to stark and often disturbing depiction of his subjects.〔〔''Svaraj: a journey with Tyeb Mehta's "Shantiniketan triptych"''. by Ramchandra Gandhi. Vadehra Art Gallery, 2002. ISBN 81-87737-02-6. ''Page 60''〕
For a while initially, he worked as a film editor in a cinema laboratory at Famous Studios, in Tardeo, Mumbai. Later, he received his diploma from Sir J.J. School of Art in 1952, and was part of the Bombay Progressive Artists' Group, which drew stylistic inspiration from Western Modernism, and included greats of Indian paintings such as F.N. Souza, S.H. Raza and M.F. Husain.〔('I don't paint for money' ) The Times of India, 14 June 2009.〕
