Ink and Ivory: Indian Drawings and Photographs Selected With James Ivory
MET,New York,United States
Ink and Ivory: Indian Drawings and Photographs Selected With James Ivory presents a selection of superlative drawings from the courts and centers of mostly India and Pakistan from the late 16th to the 20th century. These works are mainly selected from The Met collection in partnership with artist and film director James Ivory, whose recent gift to the museum of 19th-century photograph albums will also be featured in the exhibition. The drawings will include preparatory exercises for paintings, and the photographs will present the subject matter and styles that came about in the contexts of royal patronage and ceremony—including views of architecture, cities, landscapes and people. A short film—"An Arrested Moment”—directed by Dev Benegal, will accompany the show. MET, New York, through May 4.
