National Gallery of Modern Art

National Gallery of Modern Art
During our full trip to India (blog coming soon), I visited the National gallery of Modern Art Delhi. It was part of Jaipur House. It had a beautiful dome on top from the outside, looking like a palace. It is currently owned by the Government of India.

I stepped in, purchased the tickets (Rs. 20 only) and dropped my bag off in a locker given.

 I went to the first floor which had beautiful sculptures made in the 'modern' period. There was also an amazing sculpture of Mahatma Gandhi. I really enjoyed the sculptures made with different materials such as stone and bronze. Majority of them were made of bronze.

I moved on to the second floor which had lots of paintings. The artists I really liked were Raja Ravi Verma, Thomas Daniell, Chitaraga Krishnappa and M. F. Pithawala. There was also an artist, Antonio Xavior Trindade who painted during the British rule. His painting Lady with Jar was fascinating.


The third and fourth floor also had attractive paintings. There were a huge number from Rabindranath Tagore which were simple but not very pleasing to me. There were also self-portraits of Amrita Sher-Gil. Some of Gaganendranath Tagore were also there. There was also a special painting (unknown) of a mother ( Mother Teresa) with her child done by M. F. Hussain. It looked beautiful.
