Drawing the Sanhitha exhibit at NGMA

The National Gallery of Modern Art, one of our favourite locations for group drawing is currently hosting Air India’s extensive collection of artwork.

These artwork apparently used to grace Air India’s lounges, offices and even aircraft. Apparently M.F Husain bartered paintings for being able to travel abroad. There is even a piece by Salvador Dali, an ashtray he designed for Air India.

What caught my attention of course were the cartoons by Mario Miranda. Air India commissioned a lot of work from him it seems.
