Description: Milan: Skira, 2013. 28cm., hardcover, 352pp., 275 color illus. English text. Summary: This book offers a broad narrative of key trends in modern art in India that have emerged from the turn of the twentieth century till the end of the millennium and aims to place modern Indian art in its context of cultural nationalism, formation of art institutions and changing notions of artistic value. The book is divided into two sections. Section one focuses on the first five decades of the twentieth century that introduced new definitions of art practices, shaped by both colonialism and the cultural politics of nationalism. Section two looks at the art scene that emerged in the wake of India’s independence. This period coincides with a new opening towards internationalism across the 1950s. By the 1960s, internationalism loses its thrust by way of research towards native sources of art. Breaking into the digital space, as cultural nomads Indian artists travel across national borders into the space of biennales and triennials. The strong presence of diaspora artists offers a new take on identity and ethnicity while generating new modes of representation. (^Forthcoming^)
