Tyeb Mehta’s 'Bulls': Symbol of Human Condition in Art

Tyeb Mehta was an artist whose paintings often featured bulls tied up, called "trussed bulls."

These bulls weren't just pictures of animals; they stood for how humans feel trapped and unable to use their full potential.

Mehta's art was shaped by witnessing violence during his youth.

The bull became a symbol of the struggles people face.

Over time, the bull in Mehta's art changed, but the message remained: it reflected the artist's experiences and emotions.

His art expressed feelings of being held back, and his last work, completed shortly before he passed, continued this theme by depicting struggles.
