| Note | This pioneering book is an authentic portrayal of the formative years of modern Indian art, when its parameters were being established. Between its hesitant beginnings in British -established art schools, and the inspired individualism of many present day artists, lies the story of the Progressive Artists Group. These young painters, who rebelled both against the Bengal school, as well as the naturalism introduced by the art schools, met frequently, holding night-long discussions in their struggle to survive in the dramatic development of contemporary Indian art. |
