The artist community of India stands in firm solidarity with the actions of our writers who have relinquished awards and positions, and spoken up in protest against the alarming rise of intolerance in the country. We condemn and mourn the murders of MM Kalburgi, Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare, rationalists and free thinkers whose voices have been silenced by rightwing dogmatists but whose “presence” must ignite our resistance to the conditions of hate being generated around us. We will never forget the battle we fought for our pre-eminent artist MF Husain who was hounded out of the country and died in exile. We remember the rightwing invasion and dismantling of freedoms in one of the country’s best known art schools in Baroda. We witness the present government’s appointment of grossly unqualified persons to the FTII Society and its disregard of the ongoing strike by the students of this leading Institute. We see a writer like Perumal Murugan being intimidated into declaring his death as a writer, a matter of dire shame in any society.

On the spot portraiture for all patrons and visitors on the day of the preview Indian Portraiture Fascination of figurative style Miniature style portraiture – Mughal emperors’ patronage – in portrait making and court room painting During British rule artists from European countries came to India for Nawabs’ patronage and painted a lot of portraits of the kings, their families and the nobles in oil – a new medium and the new realistic style in Indian art scenario. Raja Ravi Varma – portraiture painting British art schools in Bombay , Calcutta and Madras – a generation of Indians learnt the skill of realistic painting Influence of European movement and stylistic portraiture INDIAN PORTRAITS THE FACE OF A PEOPLE The art of modern portraiture came to India three centuries ago as part of a new, unexplored tradition brought in by colonial artists from Europe. Indian art till then had tended to depict attributes rather than particularities by way of portraits. The change was led by eighteenth century European artists who came in search of sitters and commissions for portraits in Madras and Calcutta, and later in Bombay. They found enough work in British India but were increasingly drawn to paint the princes among whom the Nawabs of Arcot and Awadh became major patrons.

Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.
