The audience at the launch of the limited edition prints
A select group of art lovers was invited to the George Keyt Foundation’s presentation of limited edition prints of ‘Kangodi Ragini’ painted in 1951 by the legendary artist on Thursday. The painting along with 20 other works was presented to the George Keyt Foundation by Keyt in 1990.
Thirty ‘limited edition’ prints of this painting were created and 28 prints were acquired by admirers of his work.
‘Kangodi Ragini’ – at 60 x 42.5 inches, the largest work in the Foundation’s collection is considered one of Keyt’s finest. It is also one of his few surviving paintings from a brief period spent in India. The original 1951 painting narrowly avoided damage in a fire that destroyed much of Keyt’s other work stored in India.

Malaka Talwatte, Chair, Board of Trustees of the George Keyt Foundation said, “In creating George Keyt Foundation certified limited edition prints of George Keyt’s iconic masterpiece, we celebrate his enduring legacy as one of Sri Lanka’s most influential modern artists. The George Keyt Foundation continues Keyt’s legacy not only by making his works
accessible to new audiences, but also by actively nurturing the next generation of
Sri Lankan artistic talent.”
