Midnight to the Boom

Painting in India after Independence

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Between independence in 1947 and the economic boom of the 1990s India’s artists were drawn to express the character of their new nation in the face of modernism, and had a broad range of aesthetics from which to take inspiration. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum in Massachusetts, this well-illustrated catalogue explores how three generations responded to the opportunity and reproduces work by artists including MF Husain, Nasreen Mohamedi and Vivan Sundaram.
