Dalrymple celebrates forgotten painters
Early next month, writer, historian and Indophile William Dalrymple will guest curate Forgotten Masters: Indian Painting for the East India Company, for the Wallace Collection in the UK. The exhibition, supported by the Delhi Art Gallery (DAG) will continue till next April, and is the first UK exhibition of works by Indian master painters commissioned by East India Company officials in the late 18th and 19th centuries. The exhibition honours historically overlooked artists, including Shaikh Zain ud-Din, Bhawani Das, Shaikh Mohammad Amir of Karriah, Sita Ram and Ghulam Ali Khan, Dalrymple told this diarist. "The art that emerged during this time was unusual. The school of painting was somewhere between the Mughal and colonial," he adds. The works feature both, the beauty of the natural world and the social reality of the time. "Most of the artworks and masterpieces that will be featured have been acquired from private collections and museums in the West. None have unfortunately come from India." A lot of work and time has gone into bringing all of it together for one show, Dalrymple shares.
