03/29/2015 00:00:00 Two Distinguished Exhibitions: Celebrating Two Passions of British Artist Howard Hodgkin Northeast



City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1DDS912 The two exhibitions celebrate Hodgkin's fascination with India. "Visions of Mughal, India" features historical works from Hodgkin's personal collection. These include stunning elephant portraits, detailed paintings and drawings of flora and fauna, depictions of daily life, royal portraits, and illustrations of epics and myths produced in the Mughal court between the late 16th and early 19th centuries. "Inspired by India" displays Hodgkin's very own powerful and expressive hand and his deep connection to India. The exhibition features eight paintings created by the artist between 1970 and 2014. These vivid, boldly coloured works demonstrate Hodgkin's one-of-a-kind style and confirm his status as one of Britain's best painters.
