The Curious Collector Series - Session 2.0: Foundations of Modern Indian Art
Current event
Tracing the timeline from early influences to modern masters
An interactive conversation led by Sania G. Vohra and Nidhi Panta, with the opening question, What makes art modern? , Is it technique, time, or a shift in thinking?
In this session of the Curious Collectors Series, we traced how Indian art moved from tradition to modernity – through its artists, movements, and defining movements.
From Raja Ravi Varam to the Progressive Artists' Group, this is less a lecture and more a conversation about how art, identity, and history come together.
This session was designed as an interactive conversation where questions were welcome, ideas were explored, and the foundations of modern art were made accessible. The session explored the journey of Indian art from Company School to the modern period and discussed how these avant-garde movements shaped the modern masters of India.
