5. Self-Portrait – Rabindranath Tagore

Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore started painting in 1924 at 63 years old, however long before this, an element of exertion could be seen in the various corrections and doodles in his manuscripts. Towards the finish of his vocation, Tagore, striving to make a universally accessible art, took up painting all the more consistently. He made thousands of sketches and drawings using brush, pencil, and pen, the most magnificent of them being his self-portrait. This painting depicts the full face, a self-portrait of the unshaven artist, upgraded by the lack of color, unworked foundation, and the use of crude-looking pencil lines.

6.Mahishasura – Tyeb Mehta

The most significant work by India’s finest contemporary artist, Tyeb Mehta’s Mahishasura – a reinterpretation of the tale of the devil by the same name – was the first Indian painting to cross the million-dollar mark, selling for a whopping $1.584 million at Christie’s in 2005. The painting occurred after Tyeb’s visit to Shantiniketan where he was inspired by the legend of Mahishasura. Mehta fuses old symbolism with the simplicity of structure, color, and line, resulting in a powerfully current work full of fresh vitality.
