Krishen Khanna: Images in My Time Images in My Time (Hardcover)

Krishen Khanna is a painter whose work engages the social, historical and political landscape of India. He was a member of the Progressive Artists Group which promoted modernity in the art scene. The artist briefly worked in an abstract style but soon reverted to representational art. Khanna painted a series of musicians (bandwallah) and there are strong references to music in his work. The book looks at this theme in some detail. This is the first monograph of the artist and will be valuable for its care to set Khanna's paintings in a broader context.
