Somnath Hore (Indian, 1921-2006) Untitled, sculpture in bronze bronze, signed S.H. to base, 44.5cm high x 12.5cm diam. x 12.5cm Provenance: Acquired from the artist during a stay in Santiniketan by a professor of Fine Art at Vishava-Bharti University, West Bengal; acquired 1997 by the above and thence by descent to Private Collection, Australia Somnath Hore was born in 1921 in the village of Barama in Chittangong, and following a stint as a poster artist for the Communist Party of India, studied printmaking at the Government College of Art and Craft, Calcutta. Unsurprisingly, a majority of Hore’s works express his reactions to the major historical and sociopolitical events of the Twentieth Century that resulted in large-scale human suffering, particularly those in his native Bengal like the famine of 1940. It was in the mid-1970s that Hore began to work on sculptures, translating the anguish expressed in his prints, drawings and cast paper pulp pieces into three dimensions with astonishing effect. Describing the artist’s unique casting technique and style of figuration, Pranabranjan Ray notes that “The armatures, air vents and escape pipes of the molten metal are arranged in such a manner as they form the skeletal structures of the figures with the bones, veins and all that. The sheets of thin metal over the torso and the head of the figure is, at the same time, like a skin covering the bones with no flesh intervening and a bandage covering the wounds. The ends of the metal sheets join in such a manner as it suggests a slashed-open skin or skins with marks or surgical operation or skins showing naked bones. They are like living apparitions from scenes of destruction walking down the corridors of a hospital after being attended to.” (P. Ray, Hore, New Delhi, pp. 8-9).

Born in Chittagong, now in Bangladesh, Hore worked as a journalist as a young man, most significantly bearing witness to the famine of 1943 in Bengal. The images from this experience became recurring themes in his work as an artist, a lasting testament to the compassion that he felt for those he had seen at a time of great suffering.

The primitive simplicity and freedom of Baul thought and living charmed him so completely that he started imbibing them in his own lifestyle. He grew his hair long, kept a flowing beard and wore loose robes. He created Baul like characters in his plays and dance dramas and enacted the roles himself. And, as he grew older, a restlessness; an inability to stay in one place took hold of him. Leaving the ancestral mansion of Jorasanko he relocated to Santiniketan but even there he could not stay in the same house for more than two months. In the last two and half decades of his life, a tremendous wanderlust seized him. He travelled extensively both within the country and without, earning for himself the sobriquet of ‘roving ambassador for India’.

If you are tax-exempt, you can submit your tax-exempt certificate to prevent the collection of tax. a) Out of state taxes: As a result of recent and ongoing legislation, most U.S. states now require businesses to collect and remit sales tax on online purchases made from their states. Regardless of where sellers are located, they are required to charge tax on internet orders if the state mandates it. Each state has different requirements and thresholds on what is taxed and how much.

Applicable Sales or use taxes will be added to the purchase price of taxable purchases. To be sales tax exempt, a current sales tax exemption certificate, including sales tax exemption number, must be presented to RBFineArts CFL Inc to avoid paying sales tax. AUCTION CATALOGS: Catalogs, brochures, and internet descriptions are guides only based on information from sources believed to be reliable, but their accuracy cannot be guaranteed or warranted. The auctioneer will not be liable for any errors or omissions. Statements made by Auctioneer and/or staff of Auctioneer whether oral or written, are only opinions and should not be construed as statements of fact. All measurements are approximate. a) Rugs: RBFineArts CFL Inc does not guarantee the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. b) Jewelry: Regarding jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. c) Clocks and Watches: Due to their delicate nature, all clocks and watches are sold as not working even though they may be working. d) Antiques: Antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be noted in the description. e) Artwork: Because artwork is known to be copied from pre-existing examples, the dating of such objects is often difficult to ascertain and opinions vary from expert to expert. Due to this, RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly suggests all potential bidders or a representative to meticulously inspect any and all items prior to bidding. Any reference to a specific time period and/or culture are only the opinion of RBFineArts CFL Inc and are not a guarantee of authenticity. If the bidder or a representative cannot inspect an item in person prior to the auction, then RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly suggests that you do not place a bid on the lot. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding the condition should call 877-660-3271 or (352) 508-5738 or info@rbfinearts.net, prior to the auction.

REGISTRATION: Bidder must register for the Auction before his/her bid will be accepted. Proper identification and credit card information will be required. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to register any prospective bidder for any reason. CUSTOMER AND CLIENT CONDUCT: While visiting our gallery to preview auction items, to pick up any items, or to drop off any items, should you act in a way that causes offense or might cause danger to others or which risks damage to property belonging to others you will be asked to promptly leave, and face law enforcement being called. Further, RBFineArts CFL Inc reserves the right to hold you liable for reimbursement for any expenses incurred because of any damage or injury.

ABSENTEE BIDS: Please adhere to the bidding increments. It is possible that an item could go to another bidder for the same amount as your absentee bid. For example, if your maximum Internet bid on an item is $325.00 and the required opening bid is $300.00, the Internet auction software will only bid $300.00 since that is all that is required to start the Auction. The Auction begins with you at $300.00. The next increment would be $325.00, if no one else bids you will be declared the winner. If a live auction bidder bids $325.00, they are at $325.00, not you. We always encourage bidders to bid by phone or to leave absentee bids through our gallery to avoid this. To make an absentee bid with our physical location instead of an online absentee bid, please call the storefront at 1-877-660-3271 or (352) 508-5738. AUCTION PROCEDURES: RBFineArts CFL Inc. auctions items at approximately 60 lots per hour. Occasionally, the bidding software or your internet connection may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction or the floor may respond before the internet bid is presented to the auctioneer. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid for the live Internet auction before the auction begins as insurance to avoid this. Occasionally, the Auctioneer may eliminate or reject an Internet bid, or the auctioneer may reopen a lot after the close of the live internet bidding. In this case, we may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via the internet, you agree that RBFineArts CFL Inc. may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Internet bids are treated just like floor bids. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bids that are deemed inappropriate or withdraw any item before or during the sale.

SOMNATH HORE "UNTILTED" Watercolour and Pencil on Paper 12 x 8 inches Provenance: Acquired directly through the artist by the present owner Accompanied with an authentication certificate from Ms Chandana Hore (daughter of the artist) Footnotes: Somnath Hore, born in the village of Barama in Chittagong, present-day Bangladesh, in 1921, exhibited his artistic prowess from a tender age, initially crafting posters for the Communist party. His entry into the Government College of Art & Craft was facilitated by a prominent party leader who recognized his talents. Between 1954 and 1967, Hore assumed various roles and responsibilities. From 1954 to 1958, he served as a lecturer at the Indian College of Art and Draughtsmanship in Calcutta. Subsequently, until 1967, he occupied positions such as "in-charge of the Graphic section" at the Delhi College of Art, a visiting faculty member at the MS University in Baroda, and the head of the Graphic Art department at Kala Bhavan, Visva Bharati. In 1960, he became a distinguished member of the Society of Contemporary Artists. In 1974, Hore ventured into the realm of bronze sculpture. His notable work, "Mother with Child," a substantial sculpture paying homage to the people's struggle in Vietnam, mysteriously vanished from Kala Bhavan shortly after its completion, and its whereabouts remain unknown. Hore's artistic expression predominantly encompasses the tormented human form. His creations are visually striking, characterized by their textured surfaces, incisions, apertures, and exposed channels, adding depth and dimension to his body of work.
