| 520 | 1 | |a "The Triumph of Modernism takes the surprisingly unremarked Bauhaus exhibition held in Calcutta in 1922 as marking the arrival of European modernism in India. Partha Mitter examines the decline of 'oriental art' and the rise of naturalism as well as that of modernism in the 1920s, and the relationship between primitivism and modernism in Indian art: with Mahatma Gandhi inspiring the Indian elite to discover the peasant, the people of the soil began to be portrayed by artists and 'noble savages'. A distinct feminine voice also evolved through the rise of female artists. Finally, the author probes the ambivalent relationship between Indian nationalism and Imperial patronage of the arts. With an array of art works, few of which have either been seen or published in the West, The Triumph of Modernism throws light on a previously neglected strand of modern art, and introduces the work of artists who are little known in Europe or America."--BOOK JACKET. | |
