In 1960, when noted British art critic GS Whittet was writing for Studio, a London-based magazine of applied and fine art, he had hailed Avinash Chandra as “one of the most important Indian painters” who “has gradually built up a power of expression charged with dynamism that owes nothing to Western sources but complete with motives of personal and Indian origin”. Back in the country of his origin, Chandra might not be counted within the famed circle of artists such as FN Souza, Akbar Padamsee and SH Raza but, in the Europe of the ’60s, he was their counterpart, imbibing the spirit of London into his landscapes and cityscapes that took birth in Shimla, where he was born in 1931.
