An Exhibition of Post-Independance Indian Masters 

Since the beginning of the 20th century Indian artists have attempted to articulate a vernacular visual language. This has often taken the form of taking Western art as something which had to be either rejected outright, or significantly changed in order to address an Indian vernacular.
 
This survey exhibition attempts to tease out a complex pattern of rejection, influence and echoing between artists working in Indian and Western Modernism and in the various ways those artists attempted to articulate a vernacular visual language.
