Description

A richly illustrated account of Indian art after independence in 1947. Devika Singh presents together for the first time the work of Indian and foreign artists active in India during this period, exploring their reception in both India and abroad. The book features a wealth of rare and previously unpublished images, shedding new light on how artists in India participated in global modernism during a crucial moment of decolonization and nation-building. By considering the diverse perspectives of creators, critics, and patrons, Singh opens up fresh ways of thinking about Indian art. Featuring a wide range of artists, including Bhupen Khakhar, Zarina, Kekoo Gandhy, Isamu Noguchi, Le Corbusier, and Clement Greenberg, this provocative new book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of global modernism and post-war Indian art.
