Krishen Khanna
'The Blind King and Blindfolded Queen' | Print on canvas | 33" x 20"
Signed | Limited Edition of 75
Krishen Khanna is one of India's most enduring modernists, a painter of deep moral seriousness whose figurative work has always held the human condition at its centre. A member of the Progressive Artists' Group, he spent decades rendering India's working men, its grief, its faith, with a painterly intensity that sets him apart.
This work draws from the Mahabharata, the blind king, seated alongside Gandhari, his queen, who chose to blindfold herself for life in solidarity with her husband. In this print, the two figures sit close but apart, each sealed within their own darkness. This print faithfully captures the searching quality of Khanna's draftsmanship making this iconic imagery a work to be lived with every day.
