Midnight to the Boom: Painting in India after Independence
Friday, Feb 22 10:00a
to
5:00p
Peabody Essex Museum
Salem,
MA
India’s independence from British rule at midnight on August 15, 1947, fueled a revolutionary art movement that continued through the economic boom of the 1990s. Three generations of Indian artists embraced their individualistic approaches to modern art even as they engaged with and responded to the world around them.
