The heavy presence of The Progressive Movement continues to live in and colour the minds of each of us in the art world in India. And it is usually presumed that while the legacy lives on, the artists have all gone. Thus, it is all the more interesting than the one remaining artist of that set, Manohar Mhatre, now 89, is still living and practicing. Chosen to have long self-marginalized himself, he is finally showing his works in a retrospective solo after decades!

Cubism was an avant-garde art movement that evolved at the beginning of the 20th century in response to the changing modern world.

The style also embraced outside influences, such as African masks and Native American Art.

Drawing is the oldest form of human expression much before formal written communication was ever known to the human race. Ancient man used to communicate with pictorial representations on walls of caves, stones and trees. Drawing and illustrations are perhaps the only artistic techniques that have left a profound impact on the human race; these have been carried forward for the longest period of time.
