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.

  • A Kaleidoscope Scope of Indian Art
    A kaleidoscope scope of Indian art This major show marks the finale of Delhi-based Kumar Gallery's Golden Jubilee expositions. The show signals curtains on the gallery's series of events launched to mark its 50th year. This show is of note as it features salient works by the most compelling artists on the Indian scene during more than half a century. Lauding the efforts of the gallery, art critic Kesav Malik writes in his introductory note: 'The Gallery has justifiable claims to being the true art pioneer in the capital: terra firma for artists in the once artistic wilderness. The collection on view has works by almost all leading Indian contemporary artists. There are works by artists including A. Ramachandran; K.H Ara, B. Prabha, B. Vithal, Badri Narayan, Ramkinkar Baij, N.S Bendre , Rameshwar Broota, Shobha Broota , S.R Bhushan, Sakti Burman, Arpana Caur, Sankho Chaudhuri, Jatin Das, Bimal Dasgupta, Prodosh Das Gupta, Biren De, Gopal Ghose, Satish Gujral, Sangeeta Gupta, K.K Hebbar, Somnath Hore, M.F Husain, Owais Husain, and Krishen Khanna Each of these artists has an inimitable style and subject matter, which find a representation in the show. On view are works of veteran artists like A Ramachandran, whose vision and style have changed from somber expressionism to lyrical and metaphysical engagement with nature. In the process, the artist has explored diverse scale and mediums. Late B. Prabha is known to have drawn inspiration from the everyday life of the Indian women -fisherwomen on the seaside, women selling vegetables in the market place, women with their babies, women getting married.

  • The Silver Series - 3
    DAG : THE SILVER SERIES - 3 THE SILVER SERIES EDITION 3 6 - 10 JULY 2020 10% SALE PROCEEDS TO 1 DAG : THE SILVER SERIES - 3 THE SILVER SERIES EDITION 3 100 ARTISTS ² 100 WORKS Modern and Contemporary Indian Art 6 - 10 JULY 2020 FIXED-PRICE ONLINE SALE The Silver Series is DAG’s initiative towards raising funds for charity through its fixed-price online sales For further information please contact us at [email protected] 1 DAG : THE SILVER SERIES - 3 FROM ASHISH ANAND’S DESK Hundreds of great artists have marked every decade of the twentieth century, which is why I have always been surprised at the invisibility of so many of our masters. 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.
