| Summary |
'Modern Indian Painting' presents a survey of Indian painting from the late 19th century to the present day, drawn from the private collection of Jane and Kito de Boer. The book delineates developments over a period of time, while contextualising them with previously unpublished examples by major artists. The first part of the book features the de Boers talking about their passion for India and Indian art. The second part presents a history of modern Indian painting, with essays on the Bengal School, the so-called "Dutch Bengal" artists, the Calcutta naturalists, the portrait painters of the Bombay School in the early 20th century, the Progressive Artists Group, and the post-Independence artists of Bengal. The de Boer collection also contains representations of a few individual artists, such as Chittaprosad, Ganesh Pyne, Ramachandran, and Broota, whose works are explored through essays and interviews. . |
