What: Lithographs, portraits, maps, watercolours, depicting the history of India from the late 1600s. There has been a lot of hype about the Indian Art which was taken overseas. India Habitat Centre presents, ‘Art of Hindustan Through The Ages’ by curator and collector Nikhil Gupta. The current government is doing a lot to bring back ancient art. Gupta, is contributing his bit to the ghar wapasi of Indian Antique Art. The Mughal Artists became redundant in the British Era he says, and they started painting street scenes, bearers, sepoys etc which the British Colonists would take back as souvenirs. This art is now finding its way back into the market as the descendants don’t have a taste for the ‘Indian Art”.
