In a bid to bridge the gap between elitist art and the art for the common man, that is cinema, Osianama’s Womanhood festival has brought to life, feminine art form over the last 100 years of Indian art at Tao Art Gallery.

 “Osianama’s Exhibition – Womanhood Through the Eyes of Modern and Contemporary Art presents some of the finest artworks by the leading artists over the last 100 Years. These include, from the deeply influential Raja Ravi Varma Press Oleographs depicting the Woman in all her traditional, mythic and religious garbs to the academic and representational forms of artists such as M.V. Dhurandhar, A.X. Trinidade, J.P. Ganguly, Hemendranath Mazumdar, Satish Sinha; from the Bengal School inspired artists such to Nandalal Bose and M.A.R. Chughtai to the iconic folk inspired images of National Art Treasure (NAT) Jamini Roy to the European Post-Impressionist images of women artists such as Sass & Elizabeth Brunner and Amrita Sher-Gil; from the first post-Independence moderns such as F.N. Souza, K.H. Ara, Devyani Krishna and Akbar Padamsee to leading female contemporary artists such as Mrinalini Mukherjee, Navjot, Rekha Rodwittiya, Vasudha Thozdhur, among others. The vast diversity of imagery will clearly reveal the power of the Indian fine arts sensibility and its talent to express thoughts across all ideas with which India was concerned, using the feminine form as the lead actor in that visual narrative,” elaborates Neville Tuli, Chairman, Osian’s and driving force behind Osianama.com.

The Osianama Womanhood Art Exhibition  continues till Mar 27 AT Tao Art Gallery and is a part of the larger ongoing Womanhood Festival at Osianama At Liberty, which brings world cinema and exhibits global cinema memorabilia for 365 days.
A firm believer that knowledge should be shared at no or at reasonable cost, Neville Tuli has opened the doors of the iconic Liberty Cinema to the common man at no cost for 365 days of world cinema. A laudable move, indeed.
