Born in Baroda in 1920, Sadanand K. Bakre’s artistic
journey commenced when his family relocated to
Bombay, where he enrolled at the Gokhale Education
Society School. Encouraged by his drawing teacher,
Bakre delved into painting with dedication. At the
youthful age of 16, he debuted his first solo exhibition,
showcasing a diverse array of drawings ranging from
figures to still life, along with watercolour landscapes
and clay models of drapery. In 1939, Bakre ventured
into the Sculpture department of the prestigious Sir BACKYARD OF PABLO CASALS HOUSE
J.J. School of Art, immersing himself in the realm of (IN SPAIN)
Academic Realism. With innate talent and a diligent 36 x 28.7 in (91 x 72 cm)
work ethic, he swiftly mastered techniques such as Oil on canvas, 1962
clay modelling, plaster casting, and bronze casting. Sold for $ 85,875
