Summay
From 1797, when British artist Thomas Daniell painted his masterly landscape of Mahabalipuram, to 2003, the year Rameshwar Broota's painting pitching man against metal resulted in a powerful image, the Indian art world has seen a succession of artists and movements that have enriched its vocabulary in more ways than one. Disruptions caused by the arrival of European artists resulted in native hybrid styles such as the elegant Company School and the evocative Early Bengal School, powered resistance that was experienced through the stylisation of the Bengal School, echoed the emergence of naturalism in the Bombay School, and the great leap to modernism as conceptualised by the Progressives and later modernists.
