Dag is hosting the first ever retrospective showcasing the illustrious career of 92-year-old artist Shanti Dave, spanning from 1950 till 2014, at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace. This exhibition includes the Padma Shri awardee’s rarely seen early figurative works, and unveils for the first time the artist’s stark black-and-white graphic watercolours on the 1965 Indo-Pakistan War, a body of work that is political and shows him as a humanitarian.

Shaheedon ke Shabd, watercolour and ink on paper, is a part of the artist’s 1965 Indo-Pak War Series
