Untitled

The Eighties was a period when Vasundhara Tewari Broota brought the taboo subject of the female nude unapologetically to the fore. Placed under her lens, she painted it not as an object of desire but as an assertion of its right to find its own space in society. As her work progressed, Broota, in some of her paintings, including this Untitled one, started bringing in mere suggestions, preferring to work in the genre of abstraction but with equally strong feminist script that was found in her other figurative paintings.
