How Indian artists reinvented Impressionism

For the young contemporary artist Biraaj Dodiya, it is particularly the figurative work of artists such as Manet and Renoir that have left an indelible impression. With leading artists Atul and Anju Dodiya for parents, the 31-year-old grew up looking at a lot of art, and her father passed on his fascination with Impressionists to her. A work that impacted her deeply was Paris Street: Rainy Day by French artist Gustave Caillebotte, which showed a number of people, holding umbrellas, walking through the Place de Dublin in north Paris. “It was one of the first times that I encountered the idea of temperature of colour and paint, and how weather comes into the atmosphere of a painting," says Biraaj.
