Kshetragya | The Illumined

Kshetragya: The Illumined, a seminal exhibition that celebrates the extraordinary oeuvre of ten renowned national treasures who were the torchbearer of a distinct Indian modernism: Abanindranath Tagore, Raja Ravi Varma, Jamini Roy, Rabindranath Tagore, Gaganendranath Tagore, Benode Behari Mukherjee, Nicholas Roerich, Amrita Sher-Gil, Ramkinkar Baij, and Sailoz Mukherjea. Their practice was a distil of their cross-cultural encounters, their colonial experience, the prevailing nationalist sentiment and the desire to respond to their own environment. Through their unparalleled virtuosity they infused new meaning into Indian art.
