thought. In this process the self turnstransparentand stares in my face. I keeptrying to create something immortal.That process shakes all the poise,

pretensions . What remains is the urgefor creation. This urge can only becompared to the tireless efforts ofBhagirath to bring the Ganga on earth.I place myself as one of followers of thisBhagirath.emotion and creation- the

unending process continues and Ibecome a mere spectator.A paintingdoes not tell you the inspiration of theartist. A critic, armed with a well oiledthought process can understand theseinspiration and tries to explain and

evaluate it. However when the artistexplains the process of his creation, theart finds its meaning. I know that notmany artist subscribe to this theory. Ican name only a few artists in the pastwho held such belief. Wasily Kandisky,

Brancusi, Piet Mandrion and MarkRothako. Their creations reflectedimpressions of philosophy, nature.These facets could be found in thetransformation, migrations of thesefour artists. I know, there could be

many more who have spent their livesexploring the world with their tools ofart. One can trace their journey through

their creations. They also throw somelight on the development of humancivilization, its urbanization. In India theprocess of urbanization started with the

turn of the 21st century this change isreflected in the works of contemporaryartists. Transformations and migrationsmake an important impact on thecreation of any artist. The periodbetween 13th Century and 19th

century stands testimony to this. Wecan trace the impact of change fromSouth India to Central Asia throughvarious movements like Sufism, Varkarias also from the work of saints, artistsof this period. We can see Asian artists

being clubbed and categorized on thebasis of Western yardsticks. Howeverthe effort to study Asian art on thebasis of development in this region isstill lacking. Much needs to be done onthis front and I wish Asian universities

and critiques initiate this processsooner the better.History has seenmany transformations resulting out ofpolitical developments. In the event ofan attack on any civilization, poets.Writers, saints and artists are the

keepers of much needed equilibrium.This is evident in the contemporaryhistory of Indian. It can also be seen


8/26

through the two wars that modernworld has gone through. Changebrought about by these developmentsis thrust upon the communities

involved in this process. The impact ofit shatters all hitherto held beliefs andvalues. During this process an artistsguides the society with his art whichtries to hold a delicate balance betweenthe old and the new. Let us now see

what does we achieve throughexhibitions. How they are used topropagate concepts like culture andreligion, to create awareness in society.The place is Rotterdam, which is ahistorical city. In 2001 this town was

home to exhibition in museumBoymans Van Beuningen. The exhibitionincluded works of great German artistHieronymus Bosch (1450-1561).

I was accompanying Noted

dramatist and JawaharLal NehruUniversities China expert G. P.Deshpande and noted Hindi poetVishnu Khare to Rottardam to visit thisexhibition.It was the last day of theexhibition and it was on for more than

three months. We had not secured ourentry passes in advance. People from allover Europe were thronging the

exhibition and though we were in thequeue since 9.00 AM we could actuallyenter the exhibition at around 12, suchwas the rush. The exhibition was

unique in the sense that the workswere not exhibited in the set pattern ofexhibition. They were placed dependingupon their value and security concerns.The lighting was medieval. Me andDeshpande were discussing the works

and the artists while studying thepaintings. I want to discuss a pointwhich formed part of the thendiscussion I had with Deshpande.Vishnu Khare was already through onceand was now making another round of

the exhibition. However, because hewas now moving to the oppositedirection he could not see the paintingswith a leisure. This goes to show howthe art of paintings is still popular inEurope. This exhibition had toured US

and all major cities in Europe. As perthe custom in Holland it should havebeen held in the Royal Museum atAmsterdam. However, it was held at theMuseum Boymans van BeuningenRotardam and there was reason to it.

Hieronymus tried to depict thehypocrisy of medieval Christianitythrough his works. Then the society


9/26

was heavily influenced by the conceptsof Heaven and Hell, sin and merit.Hironimus tried to create awareness ifthe society about fallacy of these lofty

ideas. This towering work ofHieronymus could be compared to thework of Sufis and saints of medievalIndia. The same messages could betraced in the poems and works ofmedieval Indian saints. There is one

very important painting at Ajantha. Amonkey is riding on the back of abuffalo and has kept his hands on theeyes of the buffalo. This buffalo isrushing through the crowded streets ofthe town. The metaphor is very

important. This picture can still be seenat Ajantha.These paintings served asmeans to create awareness against theclutches of Brahmanism. However veryfew of such masterpieces from TheBuddhist era could be seen today.

Works of an artist should reflect thechanges and beliefs of his times.Hisworks should become the vehicle forsocial development and this is neededin every generation. The modern worldhas shaded burden of religion in its day

to day life. However, the clutches ofreligion are still intact on politicalsystems all over the developed West

and also in the US. Amsterdam is thecapital of Hollands royalty which isheavily influenced by Protestant beliefs.While Rottardam is predominantly

Catholic. Local governments try topropagate the ideas of their respectivereligion through various programs andevents. Catholics are in majority inSouth Holland. which is one of the 12provinces of The Netherlands. Out of

these 12 provinces four are in southare predominantly Catholic.Thisstatistics is the reason behind choosingvenue for the exhibition. MuseumBoymans Van Beuningen was the onlyprogressive front in Holland. It

flourished during the 20thcentury.Rotterdam has always been thevenue to showcase changes and newstreams in arts of the United Sates ofAmerica. Rottardam is a port city. Dutchmigration to the USA was through this

city. This city was once taken over bythe Nazis and was devastated in thesecond world war. Now the city is beenredeveloped and renovated. It nowboasts to be the most modern city ofthe Netherlands. However, at the turn

of 20th century the museum was invery bad shape. There was no qualityexhibition to its credit. Contemporary


10/26

institutions were taking cognizance ofnew developments in arts. Abstract artwas gaining ground. Boymans vanBeuningen was arrived. New mediums

have necessitated discussion onabstract art a new, we can keep that fora while. However I want to drawattention to the sale of realistic Russianpaintings, Computer graphics, internet,Euro, changes in Northern European art

etc. The exhibition of Hieronymussworks has greatly benefited themuseum. It has also helped the localpolitics to keep the religious andcultural impact and thus to enhancetheir vote bank. When we see the

reasons and aims of these exhibitionssome friends wonder at my ownexhibitions in these cities. Is this successreal or its only a mirage

This is my fifth exhibition inMumbai. In 1979 I had exhibited my

non-curricular works at Sir J. J. Instituteof Applied Arts.It as visited by studentsand faculty of the printing technology.applied arts, architecture. branches ofthe J. J. School of Arts. In1988, when Ifinished my education abroad I had

exhibited my works at the Bajaj ArtGallery. Then I was just initiated inprofession. In 1990 my graphic prints

and serigraphy (Silk screen prints) wereexhibited at Artist Center. In 1995Nehru Center housed my series ofpaintings inspired by Abhang from the

Tukaramachi Gatha . After 1995 I wasbusy setting up a permanent exhibitionat Pune and was also busy inexhibitions in Europe. Paintings andsculpture need a good exhibition. Iconsider it very important. That is the

reason I dont wait for somebody elseto organize exhibition of my works. Iconsider Exhibition as a part and parcelof arts. Well, am I also becomingreactive in this process?
