Untitled (Mountain with Houses)

1961

Francis Newton Souza's "Untitled (Mountain with Houses)" is an oil on board work that exemplifies the Indian modernist painter's expressionistic approach to landscape and architecture. The composition depicts a stylized mountain landscape punctuated by geometric houses rendered in bold, gestural brushwork and vibrant color. Souza's treatment of the subject reflects his characteristic synthesis of modernist abstraction with figurative elements rooted in his Indian heritage.
