The
collection of the National Gallery of Modern Art
essentially comprises paintings, sculptures, graphics
and photographs mainly by Indian and, to some extent,
international modern artists. In order to emphasize
the historical development of modern Indian art, the
collection centers around the works of art of
different schools and groups, such as various schools
during the 19th Century, miniatures, the style of Raja
Ravi Varma and academic realists, the Bengal School
and International modern art.
The
collection is well represented by the works of artists
such as Thomas Daniell. Abanindranath Tagore,
Rabindranath Tagore, Gaganendranath Tagore, Nandalal
Bose, Jamini Roy and Amrita Sher-Gil along with other
important contemporary artists of the country.
The
collection also includes sculptures, graphics and
paintings by international modern artists such as
Jacob Epstein, Giorgio de Chirico, Sonia Delaunay, A.
Tapies, Robert Rauschenberg, Se Duk Lee, D.C. Daja,
Peter Lubarda, Kozo Mio, George Keyt and Fred Thieler.
Sculptures
are displayed in galleries adjoining the lawns which
are in the process of being developed into a sculpture
garden.
