On View
Not on viewBhaskaran began his Marriage series in 1981 after visiting the homes of family and friends and seeing framed marriage portraits displayed on the walls. In this print, he depicts a couple in attire typical of traditional Indian weddings. Bhaskaran was part of a 1960s art movement which favored themes that transcended geographic and cultural boundaries.
He received international scholarships to study etching and lithography in Israel in 1968 and printmaking in England in 1976.
