Chughtai

Made my occasional-but-not-quite visit to the National Gallery of Modern Art last Sunday. It felt good to take my father there, as this is one side of Delhi that he almost never gets to see. Being short of time, we could only take in the Medieval miniatures and the Bengal School (and allied artists) exhibits.
The latter never fail to amaze me with their superlative works, with no whiff of kitsch and a lot of originality and verve. NGMA itself seems to be doing a good job, shifting the exhibits to a massive new annexe just behind the main Jaipur House, with multiple floors and lots of space for all the main exhibits. They even have a swanky new shop.
I'd been dying to buy prints for sometime, so I bought a Nicholas Roerich portfolio for myself, an Abanindranath portfolio for my mother and these two large, utterly gorgeous MAR Chughtai prints.
