S. N. Surti, Air-Republic of india, New York, 1967
When Air-India launched "the Maharaja" as their mascot in 1946, he soon became a larger than life figure, and not just adorned innumerable posters but besides became an important part of cultural life, frequently even rankling the preferences of notable dignitaries. Conceived by Bobby Kooka and illustrated past Umresh Rao, the Maharaja sported a large moustache, turban, and prominent belly. He was usually portrayed with a stiff sense of humor and winking satire. . . as he models hospitality and refinement in New York in the affiche above, he is dressed up as a Playboy Bunny and serves drinks to a (very) young Hugh Hefner.
Attracted to the history associated with these posters and their whimsy, when Sanjay Kapoor, owner and 4th-generation dealer of Kapoor Galleries, came across a collection of Air-India posters at sale, he purchased the entire group. On one hand, these fit in well with Kapoor Galleries' existing collection of 20th century travel posters, which "enticed and mesmerized all who viewed them with the possibilities of exploring a new earth" (for more on Kapoor Galleries' travel posters, click here). However, seeing an alternative path for these pictures, Kapoor then coordinated with Poster House in Chelsea to present these posters in an exhibition this fall where the context in which they were created and viewed could exist explored and a big audience could enjoy them.

From the Shadows by Ganesh Pyne, Akar Prakar
April 27-June four, 2022
On view in person at Akar Prakar, New Delhi, and online on the gallery'south website
Born and brought upwards in Calcutta (present-day Kolkata) in 1937, Ganesh Pyne spent years of his life in a crumbling mansion in Kabiraj Row. Growing upwards during hard and turbulent times in the land, he establish his reprieve from the dark reality exterior in the mythologies and folktales narrated past his grandmother, Nandarani. The fantastical earth created by her -stories became the basis of his artistic language years subsequently.
Pyne's process and exercise reflected in this exhibition of largely small-scale format works is a passage into the mystical visual world created by him. The imageries comport inside it the fantastical heed of the introverted and sensitive soul. The resoluteness to his art and the commitment to evolution in his practise are both exemplified in this exhibit of an artist regarded equally a modern master in the history of Indian Art. From the Shadows aims to illuminate these rare works and archives including postcards, drawings, book illustrations, watercolours and a sneak peek into his personal diary from the 1960s. Offering a unique opportunity to view his life and work and sympathise the inner workings of the recluse creative person's mind and art, almost a decade after his passing.
