Portraits, Politics and the Picturesque
in the Art of Colonial India
Colonial art of India highlights a remarkable blend of east and west – converging on
grounds of matter and manner of expression. An important intervention of colonial
experience on the cultural life of India was the establishment of art colleges in Calcutta,
Madras and Bombay with an intent to ‘elevate’ the status of Indian art by teaching them
western theories and finer taste. This paper examines the politics behind establishment of
art institutions and how company paintings, portraits and representation of the
picturesque became perfect examples of the amalgamation of east and west on canvasses.
The paper also explores how this cross-cultural exchange revolutionized modern Indian art
in the process.
