Provenance
Purchased directly from the artist in the early 1990s Catalogue Note 'Barwe continued to refine his use of image through the 80s and 90s. Isolated heads, pendulum clocks, and staircases recur in his works. Colour was gradually drained out of the canvas, forms often reduced to mere shadows, imprints, outlines. Nevertheless, he continued to use diverse elements, holding them together on a single canvas in graceful balance. The artist's mature works correspond to his disposition - they are quiet, self effacing and almost monastic.' (Amrita Jhaveri, A Guide to 101 Modern and Contemporary Indian Artists , Mumbai, 2005, p 5).
