MODERN ART (INDIAN)
The term 'Modernism'is used for the wide range of experimental
and avant-garde trends in art that emerge from the middle of the 19th centuary, as most of these artists rebelled against traditional Historicism. later, through 20th century,'Modernism' became the urge of artists to reject previous tradition, and creating individual,original techniques. In the 1950's there was a surge in artists craving for an identity that was new and yet reflective of India. And,since then,these artists have been the modernists, who subtly brought about a revolution in Indian Art. To name a few, these include SH Raza,Tyeb Mehta,Akbar Padamsee, KG Subramaniam,MF Hussain,FN Sousa,KH Ara,Krishen Khanna,VS Gaithonde,Jogen Chowdhary.
CONTEMPORARY ART (INDIAN)
Over the last two decades, new and fresh Indian art has been recognised all over the world,and continueswith its characteristic fervour. The idea is that its basic language is understood across classes and connoisseurs. More so,the increased number of international art fairs and biennaleshas got Indian contemporary art noticed
abroad. Some of the known Contemporary Indian artists are Subodh Gupta, RiyasKomu,Jittish Kallat,Chintan Upadhyay, Bose Krishnamachari among others.
