Description
Over the years the topics of this art form have evolved from village deities, Hindu stories, and auspicious marriage icons to creative expressions of painters' own life histories and local, national, feminist, and international events and issues. The current paintings in the Chazen museum dramatize the on-going vitality of this village art form -- simultaneously ancient and modern.
