Join us for a walkthrough of Purvaee - Evoking Pedagogic Lineages at KNMA Noida! This exhibition features over 200 works from the KNMA collection, with many being historically significant and produced in the first half of 20th century.

Purvaee, or the 'eastern wind,' explores creative practices of artist-pedagogues conversing with those of the subsequent generations while studying the paths of artistic exchanges that shape present day art. The teachings of Nandalal Bose, Benodebehari Mukherjee, and Ramkinkar Baij laid the foundation for artists like KG Subramanyan, Krishna Reddy, and A. Ramachandran, among others. One finds impressions and affinities in the works Mrinalini Mukherjee, KP Krishnakumar, Pushpamala N., Bhagat Singh, and Manisha Gera Baswani that echo the masters' artistic expressions and values.

The exhibition traces institutional resemblance in styles of expression and observation through the artworks. Explore how these teachings evolved into individual practices while engaging with the innovative shifts across generations of artists.
