We begin this Course by focusing on how the past meets the present in modern and contemporary art from India, and how this duality parallels several other important dichotomies in our field, such as East and West, and sacred and secular. We will begin our explorations with a look at how various artists in India have drawn from broader histories, mythologies and even personal memory, uniting these influences in their work to create a unique visual language.
