Painters, sculptors, printmakers, teachers, they have made a name for themselves, but in the absence of their work being shown nationally—rather than regionally, as has been the norm—many have remained outside mainstream discourse. At DAG, it has been our effort to ensure their rediscovery and recognition, something we continue to do with our Silver Series, fixed-price online sales. The outstanding success of the first two editions is an indicator that art-lovers also have an appreciation for lesser-known names, as well as those whose works do not appear frequently in the market. Our endeavour with every edition will be to continue to surprise you with the mix of artists and the quality of their work. I hope the additions in this edition will bring you joy. If you miss any favourites, I assure you that you will find them in subsequent editions.

  • Ramkinkar Baij Context Ramkinkar Baij
    26 May, 2020 Ramkinkar Baij Context Ministry of Culture’s National Gallery of Modern Art will organise virtual tour titled “Ramkinkar Baij | Journey through silent transformation and expressions” to commemorate the 115th Birth Anniversary of Ramkinkar Baij on 26th May 2020. This virtual tour presents the works of art from the prominent artworks of Ramkinkar Baij from reserve collection of NGMA, grouped in a series of five different themes of (i) Portrait, (ii) Life Study, (iii) Abstract & Structural Composition, (iv) Nature Study & Landscape and (v) Sculptures. The virtual tour is being launched to pay tribute to the one of the greatest sculptor, painter – an iconic artist of modern India, especially for the young artists to know the kind of restless experiment that the artist had one with forms – figurative and abstractive both. Ramkinkar Baij Ramkinkar Baij, one of the most seminal artists of modern India, was an iconic sculptor, painter and graphic artist. Ramkinkar Baij (1906-1980) was born in Bankura, West Bengal, into a family of little economic and social standing and grew by his sheer determination into one of the most distinguished early modernists of Indian art. In 1925, he made his way to Kala Bhavana, the art school at Santiniketan and was under the guidance of Nandalal Bose. Encouraged by the liberating, intellectual environment of Santiniketan, his artistic skills and intellectual horizons blossomed, thus acquiring greater depth and complexity. Soon after completing his studies at Kala Bhavana he became a faculty member, and along with Nandalal Bose and Benodebehari Mukherjee played a pivotal role in making Santiniketan one of the most important centres for modern art in pre- Independent India.

Me concentro en los momentos modernistas críticos, atravesando las formas estéticas del sur de Asia durante el siglo XX. Están en juego reclamos para superar el pasado que aparece variadamente influido por el imperio y la nación, el comunitarismo y el nacionalismo, la memoria y la historia, lo mítico y lo primitivo, una independencia fracturada y una Partición violenta, el género y la sexualidad, el cuerpo y el dolor, así como lo épico y lo contempo- ráneo. En conjunto, se ofrecen temporalidades de modernismos que son heterogéneas, pero superpuestas. Estas consideraciones son acla- radas por medio de imágenes formidables de Savi Sawarkar, un artista expresionista y dalit.

  • The Exile of Maqbool Fida Husain
    This text is an unedited draft on the basis of which the speaker delivered a seminar, talk or lecture at the venue(s) and event(s) cited below. The title and content of each presentation varied in response to the context. There is a slide-show below that accompanies this document. If the text has been worked upon and published in the form of an essay, details about the version(s) and publication(s) are included in the section pertaining to Geeta Kapur’s published texts. Venue • Lecture: The Exile of M.F. Husain, SAHMAT, New Delhi, 24th August 2009 The Exile of Maqbool Fida Husain Modernist Myths Contrary to the claims of the canon, modernism is countered/complemented by distinctly different genealogies of the modern, and it flowers and shrinks at different political and cultural sites during the twentieth century. In its many avatars, modernism comes to be inscribed within different civilizational structures, national cultures, artisanal protocols, whereby other linguistic and iconographic resources open up, posing questions to the western rubric of authorship and style. Husain’s position exemplifies such a conjunction—where artistic autonomy of the modernist kind is ‘balanced’ by an assumed access to cultural plenitude so that a different ambition is put in place with regard to the symbolic.1 In the Indian setting, modernist myths develop multiple mandates: the modernity project, with its aspirations for ‘advancement’ and its claims to becoming the shared language of universal modernism, is expanded to the mythic imaginary and thence to metaphors and narratives that lie outside the modernist grid.
