Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The three women tribal artists of Madhya Pradesh have displayed their artworks along with the paintings of eminent Spanish Pablo Picasso at an exhibition in Italy. They included the works of Baiga painter Padma Shri Jodhaiya Bai, Bhil painter Padma Shri Bhuri Bai and Lado Bai. It was part of an exhibition ‘L’arte rivela Il Segreto Delle Close Mappe, mitologie, volti’ at the Palazzina Trombini Museum in Milan, the capital of Italy, which began from January 20 and will conclude on March 3.
This is for the first time that the women tribal artists from Madhya Pradesh got the opportunity to exhibit their painting with Picasso’s works. Painter MF Hussain’s paintings were exhibited along with Picasso’s in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1971. The trio women tribal painters, however, didn’t know Picasso who made paintings on the tribes of Africa from 1906 to 1909.
The exhibition presents 70 works of the great masters of the 20th century including Kandinsky, Picasso, Mirò, contemporary authors, visionary artists of Italian and international Art Brut and, for the first time in Italy, of the tribal art of India. This exhibition is being promoted by Padmaja Srivastava of Bhopal. Srivastava said that seven paintings of Jodhaiya Bai, two paintings of Bhuri Bai and one of Lado Bai have been displayed in this exhibition.
