Following India?s independence in 1947, Indian artists creating modern works of art sought to maintain a local idiom, an ?Indianness? in his acclaimed Apu Trilogy, how the painter Bhupen Khakhar reworked Indian folk idioms and borrowed iconic images from calendar prints in his paintings of urban dwellers, and how Indian architects developed a revivalist style of bold architectural gestures anchored in India?s past as they planned the Ashok Hotel and the Vigyan Bhavan Conference Center, both in New Delhi.
