Mother & Child 1961

Jyoti Bhatt's "Mother & Child" (1961) is a striking black and white woodcut that exemplifies his distinctive style. The simplified forms and bold lines create a sense of dynamism and movement. The composition is characterized by a strong contrast between the black background and the white lines, highlighting the interplay of mother and child. Bhatt's use of geometric shapes and abstract forms is reminiscent of Cubism, while his subject matter draws inspiration from traditional Indian art and mythology. This artwork is a testament to Bhatt's innovative approach to printmaking and his exploration of both modern and traditional artistic influences.
