This book attempts to capture vignettes of contemporary heritage of Indian painting and profile the artists’ personal journeys in independent India. I wish to express my deep gratitude to M.E Husain for his cover design and to Yashodhara Dalmia, Ella Datta, Chaitanya Sambrani, Martha Jakimowicz-Karle, Santo Datta, Mr. Rakesh Bagai of Rakesh Press and all my colleagues at the Vadehra Art Gallery who have made this publication possible.
