But what is often woefully overlooked within the mainstream narrative of Indian contemporary art is the achievements of the many artists who were key players within the movement. Chief among them is S.G. Vasudev, one of the leading contemporary modernists of post-Independent India, whose life’s works were recently on view at his retrospective exhibition Inner Resonance: A Return to Sama at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Bengaluru.
