Modern Indian Painters

Modern Indian painters are artists who emerged primarily in the 20th century, blending traditional Indian art with contemporary styles and Western influences. Notable figures like Rabindranath Tagore, Jamini Roy, and Amrita Sher-Gil explored themes of identity, culture, and social issues through their work. The Progressive Artists' Group, formed in 1947, sought to break free from classical styles, embracing abstraction and modernism. Today, their contributions reflect India's diverse heritage, evolving aesthetics, and the complexities of post-colonial society, making Indian art a vibrant and significant part of the global art scene.
