| V. R. Amberkar |
Vasant Raghunath Amberkar was born in 1907 in Mumbai. His oil
paintings, aquarelles and pastel drawings are animated by a lively
vision and a fine sense of observation that capture moments filled with a
magical, amorphous presence. A strong Expressionist definition of
figuration and compositional values underlie his work while rasa, the
Indian essence of aesthetic flavour, permeates his powerful brushstrokes
and smudged colour grounds.
