The human figure remained the central focus of Tyeb Mehta's celebrated artistic practice throughout his six-decade career.⠀
.⠀
This monumental painting from 1965 is possibly Mehta's earliest exploration of the seminal trope of the Falling Figure in his work, which would became a cornerstone in his oeuvre.⠀
.⠀
This subject embodies the exceptional synergy between Mehta's artistic, political and social concerns.⠀
.⠀
This work represents both a loss of individual control as well as a collective fall from grace as atonement for mankind's hubris influenced by the artist's personal experiences and his study of the writings of French Existentialist thinkers like Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre and André Malraux.⠀
.⠀
Here Mehta has left his viewers with a figure trapped in an intense, critical moment before the subject's destiny —either damnation or absolution — is made apparent.⠀
.⠀
Tyeb Mehta (1925-2009), 'Untitled (Falling Figure)', 1965. Estimate: $700,000 - 900,000.⠀
