Head of a Horse

“The Chinese ink drawings that [Tyeb Mehta] executed during the 1950s reveal to us the skeleton of Tyeb’s painterly practice: sweeping, confident strokes; an occasional woodcut-like harshness, the graceful yet vigorous dance of lines of changing thickness from which both animal and human forms could be cast.” (R. Hoskote, Tyeb Mehta: Ideas Images Exchanges, New Delhi, 2005, p. 12)
