Village Life Wall Art

Village Life — 4 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Gond painting comes from the Gond Adivasi communities of central India, with its best-known school formed by the Pradhan Gond of Patangarh and the wider Dindori region of Madhya Pradesh. The contemporary form is largely the legacy of Jangarh Singh Shyam (1962–2001), whose distinctive line-and-in-fill manner — every form bounded by a bold outline, then filled with rows of dots, dashes, commas and scales — became known as Jangarh Kalam and was carried on by his family and students. The village well is where Braj cattle gather in the midday heat, the daily rhythm of go-charan (cow-herding) that sits at the heart of Pushtimarg's love of the cow. A pichhwai (literally 'that which hangs at the back') is the painted cloth hung behind the Shrinathji deity to set the scene; cow-register cloths are a beloved secular subject.
