Spanning various periods of the artist’s oeuvre, this exhibition presents Mukherjee through multiple lenses including glimpses of him through his own eyes, presented through a series of self-portraits; a selection of intimate sketches of flora that reveal the significance of minute details in his vocabulary, speaking not only of how he saw the world due to his limited eyesight but focusing on the significance of linear form in his understanding of space; his landscapes, preparatory drawings and paintings, which lend themselves to analysis by anyone wanting to engage with Mukherjee’s unique understanding of space. The exhibition curated by R. Siva Kumar features more than 100 artworks from the artist’s estate.
