Painting Freedom: Tagore, Jamini and Hemen – India’s Modernist Rebels
Rabindranath Tagore, Jamini Roy and Hemen Mazumda
Painting Freedom documents the emergence of Indian modern art between 1870 and 1950. It is the largest exhibition ever held in the United Kingdom of artworks from this defining period of modern Indian art. With over 100 rarely seen works, including items displayed for the first time from private collections, this is a must-see exhibition. Painting Freedom takes the viewer on a journey covering Early Bengal Oils, Kalighat paintings, and the Bengal School, before presenting an extensive coverage of the three rebels who helped define this quest for cultural independence: Hemen Mazumdar, Jamini Roy and Rabindranath Tagore.
