The Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872–1944), one of the great innovators of 20th-century abstract art, kept refining his style up until his last active years. Decade by decade, you can see the evolution from his early, figurative paintings to increasingly rarefied levels of abstraction until we reach 1940s works like ‘Broadway Boogie Woogie’, Mondrian’s breathtaking, vertiginous response to New York’s skyline. A new retrospective, Into the Half Light & Shadow Go I, offers a similar journey covering the stylistic evolution of 84-year-old Jogen Chowdhury, one of India’s pre-eminent artists. The show has been curated by Jesal Thacker and Soumik Nandy Majumdar and presented by Kolkata’s Gallery Art Exposure.
