The artist K. Venkatappa (1886- 1965) , student of Abanindranath Tagore and the first modern artist of the Mysore State, is a seminal figure of early modern Indian art who has been strangely neglected by dominant Indian art history. The seminar brings together scholars from India and abroad who will present fresh research to "re-look" at his art and times. By this we hope to make more complex the history of early modern art, and therefore, of early modernity in India.
