Indian Drawing Today | Jehangir Art Gallery | Hardcover | 1987

A landmark publication on modern Indian art, Indian Drawing Today was published by the Jehangir Art Gallery to accompany its seminal 1987 exhibition dedicated to Indian drawing. As part of the gallery's acclaimed series of exhibitions documenting the evolution of India's visual arts—following Painting (1981), Sculpture (1983), and Printmaking (1985)—this volume celebrates drawing as a powerful and independent artistic medium.

The exhibition brought together works by 32 of India's leading contemporary artists, while also presenting a broader perspective through dedicated sections on 'Today's Traditionals,' Retrospective, and Regional drawings. The result is a comprehensive overview of Indian drawing that bridges contemporary practice with traditional and historical artistic expressions.

Richly illustrated with colour and black-and-white reproductions, the book offers an engaging visual journey through the diversity of Indian drawing—from finely observed figurative studies and portraits to abstract, experimental, and regional forms. More than an exhibition catalogue, it is an important archival document that captures a defining moment in the history of modern Indian art.

Produced by one of India's most influential art institutions, Indian Drawing Today remains an indispensable reference for collectors, curators, researchers, artists, and students of Indian art. It is equally prized by bibliophiles for its historical importance and by collectors of exhibition catalogues documenting the growth of India's post-Independence art movement.

A scarce and highly collectible publication, this volume is an essential addition to any library devoted to Indian modern art, exhibition history, and the visual culture of twentieth-century India.
