LONDON.- Peter Quintana and the Partners of Oc-Eo Art, a fine art company specialising in contemporary Asian fine art, today announced they will be handling a rare painting by S K Bakre, co-founder, with F N Souza, of the Bombay Progressive Artists Group in 1947, and an Indian contemporary master with a world-wide reputation. The painting, entitled ‘Townscape’, has been authenticated by Bonhams London. Oil on board, measuring 58x120cms, it exemplifies Bakre’s fine eye for colour – strong pure tones mixed boldly to project warmth. Painter and sculptor Sadanand Bakre (S. K. Bakre) (1920 – 2007) was one of the founders of the Bombay Progressive Artists’ Group, the highly influential pioneers of modern art in India. Bakre joined the J.J. School of Art in 1939, and proceeded to win several awards in the annual Bombay Art Society exhibitions before he and F N Souza decided to take the contemporary art movement
