Bhil Art belongs to the second largest tribal community in India – the Bhil tribe. Their primeval art is rather distinct. Bhil paintings use large unlife-like figures and shapes painted in natural and earthy tones. In essence, their art portrays the life of the Bhil tribe and their natural environ. Then the painted figures are overlaid with various dotted patterns. These patterns give the Bhil paintings a uniqueness of their own.

HORACE PIPPIN: folk and self taught painter
$ 0As a child in the late 1800s, Horace Pippin loved to draw: He loved the feel of the charcoal as it slid across the floor. He loved looking at something in the room and making it come alive again in front of him. He drew pictures for his sisters, his classmates, his co-workers.
Even during W.W.I, Horace filled his notebooks with drawings from the trenches . . . until he was shot. Upon his return home, Horace couldn’t lift his right arm, and couldn’t make any art. Slowly, with lots of practice, he regained use of his arm, until once again, he was able to paint–and paint, and paint!
