'''Harish Raut''' (7 November 1925 – 2002) was an Indian artist who developed a distinctive [[figurative art|figurative style]]. Idealized [[rural]] women, going about their daily chores was the main subject of his work. His early work was based on the rural realities of his hometown [[Bordi]] and the neighbouring town of [[Vasai|Bassein]], [[Maharashtra]]. Rural India continued to inspire him and he found his muse once again in the women of [[Rajasthan]], [[Madhya Pradesh]] and [[Kerala]].

Raut graduated with a [[diploma]] in painting from the J.J School Fine Art in [[Mumbai]] in 1952. For many of his early years he worked as a clerk but continued to paint developing a strong personal signature style. In less than a decade his work was winning awards all over India.

Over the course of his long career he had 53 one man shows in [[Mumbai]], [[Kolkata]], [[Delhi]], [[Washington, D.C.]], [[New York City]], and [[Ottawa]].<ref>{{cite journal|title=Harish Raut for US and Canada|journal=Bombay Art Society's Art Journal|year=1974|volume=3|pages=21}}</ref>
