SATISH GUJRAL


Painter, Sculptor, Muralist, Architect & Writer Satish Gujral may easily be described as a living legend; one of the few who have consistently dominated the art scene in India during the entire post independent era. He was born in 1925 and, During 1944-47, came into contact with the Progressive Artists Group in Bombay, which included S.H. Raza, EN. Souza, P.N. Mago, Jehangir Sabavala,M.F. Husain and others. Satish Gujral could not accept the PAG's total adaptation of techniques and vocabulary of European Expressionism and Cubism. He searched for a kind of modernism rooted in Indian traditions.
