Lagre Courting Dance under the Canopy by Kishor Gayen
Description
Young men and women dance together beneath a spreading canopy in this Paitkar painting by Kishor Gayen. The dance is the lagre, performed in Santhal villages, and Gayen sets the dancers in a linked line so their steps seem to move together across the paper. The canopy above frames the dance like a stage, and the matching poses give the composition a gentle sway. Natural colours on handmade paper keep the tones warm and quiet.
