Modern Indian Art

Modern Indian art refers to artistic expressions in India from the late 19th century to the present, reflecting a blend of traditional and contemporary influences. This movement emerged as artists began to explore new themes, styles, and mediums, often responding to social, political, and cultural changes. Key figures include Rabindranath Tagore, Amrita Sher-Gil, and M.F. Husain, who incorporated Indian aesthetics with modern techniques.
