Freedom to Form: Baroda Modern turns to a curious historical gap—Baroda, unlike Calcutta, Bombay, or Madras, inherited no colonial art school, and so the Faculty of Fine Arts at Maharaja Sayajirao University, founded in 1950, could build its own visual language entirely from scratch. Bhupen Khakhar's narrative figuration, K.G. Subramanyan's craft-inflected modernism, and Gulammohammed Sheikh's layered, personal-political imagery anchor a broader story of teachers becoming students becoming teachers—a lineage rooted in Indian visual traditions without ever calcifying into nostalgia. On view at DAG, New Delhi from 22 August until 3 October 2026. Gallerie Nvya
