Bar Lounge Wall Art

Bar Lounge — 6 museum-grade prints sized and toned for the room. Marwar, the desert court of Jodhpur, is the Rajput school of intense saturated grounds and desert intensity. This contemporary fusion borrows its solo-performer grammar for the Kalbeliya dance of the Kalbeliya community — once snake-handlers — whose serpentine movements and black mirror-worked skirts were inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010, danced to the been and the dholak. The Kotah and Bundi ateliers of southeastern Rajasthan share a school and are jointly celebrated for hunting scenes — dramatic shikar chases through dense, lovingly painted jungle, a genre the Kotah workshops in particular made their signature. The royal tiger hunt was both a sport and a display of princely prowess. Marwar, the desert court of Jodhpur, prized horses and horseback sport above almost all else, and chaugan — the mounted stick-and-ball game from which modern polo descends — was a celebrated court pastime, often painted as a lively diagonal melee. The school is the most intense of the Rajasthan-plains traditions, with saffron and deep-red grounds and jewel-strong colour.
