Learn about why the 70s were an important turning point for abstract genius VS Gaitonde, and what this means for Modern Indian art

Gaitonde’s artistic career when he was holistically able to purge mortal frequencies and reflections from the canvas, to create works that laid the foundation for the epitome of his artistic gestures.

Gaitonde’s work style, which would come to be recognised globally by the art cognoscenti.
