Explore the remarkable collection of Indian paintings and drawings of the
artist Howard Hodgkin, shown for the first time in its entirety at the
Ashmolean.
To support the physical display at the Ashmolean, which has recently
opened, an online version of the *Visions of Mughal India: The Collection
of Howard Hodgkin *exhibition is now
live<http://jameelcentre.ashmolean.org/visions_mughal_india>,
to provide a taste of the exhibition on display in the Ashmolean's Special
Exhibition Galleries, including zoom-able high-resolution images and
detailed information about each art work, see:
http://jameelcentre.ashmolean.org/visions_mughal_india
A fully illustrated catalogue of the exhibition with further information is
also available to purchase from the exhibition shop or online (
http://www.ashmolean.org/services/publications/publicationslisting/?id=146).
The artist Howard Hodgkin has been a devoted collector of Indian paintings
since his schooldays in the late 1940s. Progressively refined over the
years, his collection has grown slowly but steadily and has long been
considered one of the finest in the world. It is above all a personal
collection, formed by an artist’s eye, but comprises most of the main
Indian court styles that flourished during the Mughal period (c.1560-1858).
The exhibition is on display in the Museum *until 22nd April 2012*. After
the physical display of all this exhibitions ends, the web-based version of
the exhibition will remain * online indefinitely*, as an archived resource
that can continue to be explored.
Please circulate this information widely!
