DAG’s popular exhibition, Birds of India, travels to Mumbai
Live MintThe exhibition Birds Of India, first showcased by DAG at its gallery in Delhi earlier this year, garnered such rave reviews and piqued so much interest in this unique aspect of Company paintings that it prompted the Dr Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum to take it to Mumbai. The exhibition in Mumbai draws largely from the Cunninghame Graham album of 99 paintings, besides showing later works from The Faber album and four folios by Chuni Lal of Patna—the only artist to be identified from the 1835 Edward Inge album. The accompanying show, New Found Lands, on landscape art is divided into three phases: a foreign vision of the picturesque; Indian artists’ assimilation of the Western academic approach; and a move away to a radically different one. Birds Of India and New Found Lands will be on show at the Dr Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum from 27 November-16 February.
