Born in 1912 in Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, Govind Madhav Solegaonkar was educated in Bombay and Indore, and studied at the Sir J J School of Art in Bombay. Following his initial training, Solegaonkar went on to experiment with different styles, and indigenous materials, specialising in murals, portraits and landscapes. His work "...exhibited extraordinary draughtsmanship and moved towards styles which suggested movement through powerful drawing, and volume through well-modulated silhouette. The romantic nuances of miniatures, and the vigour and dynamism of folk painting are evident." (Pran Nath Mago, Contemporary Art in India: A Perspective, New Delhi: National Book Trust, 2001, p. 49)
Solegaonkar was a member of the Indore Group, active from 1934 – 1937, which included the artists N S Bendre, D J Joshi and M S Joshi. He held a number of solo and group shows throughout his career, and received many awards and honours. His works are displayed in the Rajya Sabha in New Delhi, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, and the CSMVS Museum in Mumbai.
G M Solegaonkar passed away in 1986.
