Art for a Modern India, 1947–1980
In this book Rebecca M. Brown explores the emergence of a self‑conscious Indian modernism — in painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture, film, and photography — in the years between independence and 1980, by which time the Indian art scene had changed significantly and postcolonial discourse had begun to complicate mid‑century ideas of nationalism. Through close analyses of specific objects of art and design, Brown describes how Indian artists engaged with questions of authenticity, iconicity, narrative, urbanization, and science and technology.
