  Date Begin: 2012-03-27\nEvent Date End: 2012-06-01\n\nPainting the Modern
  in India features seven renowned painters who came of age during the heig
 ht of the movement to free India from British rule. To liberate themselves
  from a position at the margins of an art world shaped by the colonial est
 ablishment\, they organized path-breaking associations - the Calcutta Arti
 sts Group in 1943\, the Progressive Artists Group in 1947 Bombay\, and the
  Delhi Shilpi Chakra in 1949. They pioneered new approaches to painting\, 
 repositioning their own art practices internationally and in relation to t
 he 5\,000-year history of art in India.\n\nThese artists created hybrid st
 yles that are an under-appreciated yet essential component of the broad sw
 eep of art in the 20th century. After independence in 1947\, they took adv
 antage of new opportunities in art centers around the world\, especially P
 aris\, London and New York\, intensifying their quests for what the Bombay
  Progressives termed 'aesthetic order\, plastic coordination and color com
 position.' At the same time\, they looked deeply into their own artistic h
 eritage\, learning from the first exhibition of Indian art in 1948 at Raj 
 Bhavan in Delhi and taking inspiration from ancient sites like the old cit
 y in Benaras and the temples at Khajuraho.\n\nStart time: 10am - 5pm Tuesd
 ay through Sunday and Holiday Mondays
