Since its inception in 1998, it has been earnestly collecting and promoting art and soon carved a niche for itself. Focused on the art of Bengal, Janus Art Gallery has an on growing collection of works by artists with commendable heritage value, renowned modern artists and young contemporaries with a promising future. Consequently, the collection has grown not only in number but more significantly in quality and variety. Hence, along with a substantial collection of Old Masters, Janus is also committed to searching for young talented artists, promoting them in the art field and bringing them the recognition they deserve. This approach led Janus to discover less known gifted artists with great potential to make a mark in the art scenario. Janus Art Gallery’s relentless search for such artists has not only made its own collection valuable but also has drawn attention of the critical viewers and the art loving public of the city at large. As an essential part of the process, Janus also organizes exhibitions all over the country. It is worth mentioning that Janus has participated in Delhi Art Summit, 2008, Art expo Malaysia, Kualalampur, 2009 and sent paintings of upcoming artists to Larasati Auction, Singapore in 2007, 2008 and also to 33 Auction, Singapore in 2011. Sri Kallol Bose, who heads Janus, can be credited with the realization and formation of a well-informed and well-researched foundation for a veritable art collection and promotion in the Indian art scene, setting an example through sheer dedication, persistence and professionalism. 842A/1, Upen Banerjee Road, Parnasree, Behala Kolkata: 700060, India www.janusartgallery.com, email: [email protected] +91 9830060206, +91 9331840678.

  • Introduction to Indian Art Kl Lifestyle Art Space Presents 3 Indian Artists
    INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN ART KL LIFESTYLE ART SPACE PRESENTS 3 INDIAN ARTISTS BY HIRANMAYII AWLI MOHANAN Indian art encompasses a variety of forms and originated about five thousand years ago, sometime during the peak of the Indus Valley civilisation. Largely influenced by a civilisation that came into existence in the 3rd millennium B.C., it blends the spiritual and the sensual, making it rather distinctive in form and appearance. However, progressively, Indian art has undergone several transformations and influenced by various cultures, making it more diverse and more inclusive of its people. PARITOSH SEN Paritosh Sen was a painter, illustrator, tutor and writer, who was a part of the world of Indian art, for close to four decades. He was born in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh on Oct 18, 1919 and was a founding member of the Calcutta Group — an art movement established in 1942 which played an important role in ushering modernism into Indian art. Allured by the pages of the Bengali art journal, Prabasi, Sen ran away to Madras, to learn art. Graduating with a Diploma in Fine Arts from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Chennai, Sen moved to Calcutta in 1942, where he and a group of young Bengalis formed the Calcutta Group — an association of artists that sought to incorporate contemporary values in Indian art. In 1949, Sen left for Paris to pursue his passion, attending, among other institutes, the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He received a Fellowship for 1970-’71 from the John D. Rockefeller III Fund. The Indian artist’s visit to Paris in 1949 was what got him closer acquainted with European art and its artists.

  • PRESS RELEASE Ram Kumar – a Retrospective Aicon Gallery, New York: 23 November – 18 December 2010 Opening Reception: Tuesday November 23, 6:00 – 9:00Pm
    PRESS RELEASE Ram Kumar – A Retrospective Aicon Gallery, New York: 23 November – 18 December 2010 Opening Reception: Tuesday November 23, 6:00 – 9:00pm “Contemporary Indian Landscape” a presentation by Beth Citron, Curator, Rubin Museum of Art, to coincide with opening. The art historian Partha Mitter has noted that the "common thread" of modern Indian art has been "the insistent return of the figure, the perennial subject of India, set against the background of abstraction." One of the seminal and most long-standing exceptions to this rule is Ram Kumar. Although Kumar, like a number of Indian and Pakistani artists who studied in Paris, returned from Europe with a semi-figurative style that drew on post-cubism, he eventually chose to abandon the figure entirely and began working almost exclusively with the motif of the abstract cityscape, a move Ram Kumar unique among his immediate contemporaries at the time. Untitled Landscape 3 (Close-up of upper left field) This shift took place in a series of paintings inspired by Oil on Canvas (2010) Benares (Varanasi), which was variously rendered as an 36 x 48 in. amalgamation of shades and textures, or as Mitter puts it, "the colorful city reduced to stretches of clay, sand and sky." In the 1960s, Kumar began another shift in his production, this time away from the cityscape, whose intensity conveyed a despairing urban alienation, towards the natural abstract landscape. Increasingly his works would be made up of forms, detached from his previously conventional figure-ground relationship, which coalesced in the middle distance to suggest a landscape.

    India’s Rockefeller Artists: An Indo-U.S. Cultural Saga November 7, 2017 - March 2018 DAG Modern, Fuller Building, 41 East 57th Street, Suite 708, New York Satish Gujral, Untitled, 1963, Encaustic on canvas, 17.2 x 22 in. Courtesy DAG Modern / India's Rockerfeller Artists. DAG Modern is pleased to present India’s Rockefeller Artists: An Indo-U.S. Cultural Saga in its New York gallery at 41 East 57th Street at the Fuller Building in Midtown, Manhattan. The exhibition showcases iconic works of the Indian painters and sculptors who travelled to the US on grants enabled by John D. Rockefeller III’s philanthropic vision, first through the JDR 3rd Fund (1963–1979) and then through the Asian Cultural Council. These artists were brought to the US to see and understand American art and also to share their own learnings and experiences through a cultural exchange that would enrich communities. The show examines why and how these artists were selected; their relationships with each other and the American art milieu; the impact of the experience on their body of work; and the creation of a community of Rockefeller artists. The grant benefited some of India’s most important artists, among them V.S. Gaitonde, whose work formed the subject of a retrospective at the Guggenheim, New York, in 2013; Tyeb Mehta, one of the most widely collected artists in private and public collections; Akbar Padamsee, Ram Kumar, Bal Chhabda and Krishen Khanna, all associates of the then Bombay-based Progressive Artists’ Group.

IntrODuCtIOn In the latter half of the 19th century, the British, who ruled India for nearly 200 years, established government-operated art schools throughout India. These vocational schools concentrated on academic drawing to train artists for colonial services. During the first half of the 20th century, however, as the independence movement led by Gandhi was gaining momentum, Indian artists rejected the colonial dictates of academic art and sought new modes of expression.

  • South Asian Artists at the Académie André Lhote
    South Asian Artists at the Académie André Lhote Simone Wille ABSTRACT While some artistic exchange between India and France can be identified in the first part of the 20th century, this intensified in the postwar era. Most of the South Asian artists going to Paris continued their artistic formation and thus the majority of them attended classes in one of the many independent art schools like l’Académie Julian, l’Académie de la Grande Chaumière, l’Académie An- dré Lhote, l’Atelier de Fernand Léger and Stanley Hayter’s Atelier 17. Since André Lhote’s Académie seemingly had a special attraction, this essay will take a closer look at the South Asian artists who studied with Lhote. Introduction For most South Asian modernist artists heading to Europe for art training, London had – in most cases – been their first destination (Mitter 2001: 206). Amrita Sher- Gil (1913–1941) seems to have been the first artist to break with this tradition when she moved with her family to Paris in 1929, where she was accepted into the studio of Professor Pierre Vaillant at l’Académie de la Grande Chaumière (Amrita Sher-Gil: 156). In 1930, Sher-Gil was accepted into the studio of Lucien Simon as a student at l’École Nationale des Beaux-Arts. While in 1930 Rabindranath Tagore’s (1861–1941) work was shown at the Théatre Pigalle1 – it is very pos- 1 Rabindranath Tagore showed his work in Paris at the Galerie Pigalle in May 1930.
