tracing the history and
evolution of modern art in India from the collection
of the National Gallery of Modern Art
'... In the seeds of time' traces the
trajectory of modern Indian art from the colonial
encounter from the 18th century to current trends in
the 21st century. The history of the development of
modern Indian art is both complex and chequered. Art
has developed in tandem with the exigencies of a
region and nation constant evolution; the artists
responding to the socio-political and economic
tenors of each decade with alacrity. The potency of
Indian art stems from its ability to include and
adapt jail the diversities that it encounters rather
than exclude on the basis of claims to purity.
Indian art from every region is an amalgam of
different locals that are now globally experienced
and shared with remarkable developments in
information-technology and web-based sharing. The
NGMA is proud to share the most important works that
are markers in the exciting journey of Indian art.
