The Tree of Life - Indian Tribal Art. Canvas of cloth, 9" x 7".

Note:
The essence of tribal India lies in the integral relationship between man and nature, flora and fauna. The rhythm of human society is synchronous with the beat and movement of nature and all things natural. This pantheistic belief is the core philosophy on which Tribal India has thrived through ages.

... while the branches of the tree are home to birds and monkeys, human beings are seen niched under its shade, rearing domestic animals. Happy birds are flying about. Following tradition, this painting uses double borders. The tree is edged with bold-lined designs and animals are used as a part of that design. At the base of the canvas, we get to see some shades of domestic life. Small clay huts, trees, women with baskets, men rearing cattle and hunting with bow and arrows – life and livelihood at their basics. The painting is crowned by a sequence of dance – men, animals and instrument are guilded together sounding the unequivocal music of life.
