Syed Haider RAZA Né en 1922 SOURYA, 1974 Acrylique sur toile signée et datée “74” en bas vers la droite Contresignée, titrée et datée “1974” au dos 152,5 x 152,5 cm (59,48 x 59,48 in.) Provenance : Collection particulière, Lyon Sourya peint en 1974 peut s'analyser comme un jalon, une transition dans la création de Raza dans les années 70 et 80. C'est à cette époque que Raza prend progressivement conscience que sa peinture n'est pas assez habitée par la spiritualité de son pays natal. Ses voyages et séjours vont se multiplier dès lors. Sourya, “Le Soleil” est aussi le Dieu du Soleil qui émet les rayons de la connaissance qui illuminent le mental. C'est le symbole de l'illumination spirituelle. Présent dans la partie droite du tableau, le cercle noir contrebalance l'abstraction gestuelle colorée de la partie gauche. Sourya, painted in 1974, can be seen as a milestone, a transition in Raza's work from the 70's and 80's. During this period, Raza became increasingly conscious that his painting was not sufficiently inhabited by the spiritual side of his native land. His travels and stays abroad became increasingly frequent. Sourya, “The Sun”, is also the Sun God emitting rays of knowledge that illuminate the mind. It is a symbol of spiritual illumination. Located in the right half of the painting, a black circle provides a counterpoint to the colorful, abstract, gestural brushstrokes in the left section. “Une peinture, il faut la construire comme un bâtiment avec une base, des murs et un toit”. Cette phrase de Henri Cartier-Bresson révèle la peinture de Raza dans les années 50. S'inspirant de l'art de la composition de Cézanne qui l'influence le plus à cette époque, il regarde ses natures mortes et ses paysages. Dès son arrivée en France au tout début des années 50, Raza va beaucoup voyager de l'Alsace à la Bretagne, de Carcassonne à Menton. Il peint les villages, maisons, clochers donnant vie et structure aux formes. La tradition française dicte son art. “A painting must be built like a building with a base, walls, and a roof.” This statement by Henri Cartier-Bresson is revelatory of Raza's painting during the 1950's, inspired by the compositions of Cézanne, Raza's primary influence during this period, especially the master's still lifes and landscapes. Upon his arrival in France in the early 50's, Raza began to travel from Alsace to Britanny, from Carcassone to Menton. He painted villages, houses, and steeples that give life and structure to forms. French tradition ruled his art.
