--

The School of Arts and Aesthetics has curated an exhibition 'RAMKINKAR 
IN FOCUS: THROUGH THE EYES OF DEVI PRASAD' which has opened to the 
public on October 9 and will be open for viewing till Monday,October 29, 
2007 in the School of Arts and Aesthetics Gallery, JNU. It commemorates 
the centenary year of Ramkinkar Baij.

 

The exhibition has received an overwhelming public and critical 
response. It is open for viewing daily, from 10 AM- 7PM, except Sundays 
. In response to a special request from the JNU community, we have late 
night viewings till 10 PM on Friday nights.

 
The exhibition showcases the critically acclaimed photographs by Devi 
Prasad and of course, India's greatest modernist sculptor Ramkinkar 
Baij's bronzes. We also have a rare opportunity to see pages from 
Ramkinkar's sketchbooks, his watercolours and oil paintings alongside 
rare footage of Ramkinkar from Ritwik Ghatak's unfinished film. The 
conference on the 29th will bring several scholars together (please see 
the attachment), and people will have a chance to reflect on what they 
can make of the artist from the exhibition -  we hope you will be able 
to join us that day.
