Catalogue of exhibition in a Reina Sofía Museum, (september 23,2015-january, 15, 2016. Nasreen Mohamedi (Karachi, 1937-Baroda, 1990)was one of the first Indian artists to embrace abstraction, movingaway from the more conventional doctrines of Indian modern art in theearly decades of the 20th century. She chose non-figuration, anartistic practice marginalised at that time by independent India,which was essentially dominated by an anthropomorphous aesthetic andacademic realism determined by art schools from the colonial period.Her artistic career, defined by the rigours of self-discipline andself-control, leads us towards a personal vision articulated around afrugal aesthetic and the use of simple mediums, where themathematical, the metaphysical, the mystical were adopted in hersearch for a subjective and immaterial world.The exhibition, organised by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in collaboration with the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi, displays her work combining thought and action inthe intersections between her life and her art. The show featuresdrawings, photographs, paintings and collages, with a focus onMohamedi¿s work throughout the 1970s.
