Few artists have painted India’s story like Krishen Khanna. And now, as he turns 100, Mumbai’s National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) is hosting a landmark retrospective titled Krishen Khanna at 100: The Last Progressive. 

The exhibition, curated by Dr Zehra Jumabhoy and Kajoli Khanna and spread across all four floors of NGMA, traces Khanna’s artistic evolution from his early sketches in the 1940s to his latest experiments. The Last Progressive brings together eight decades’ worth of art, archives, and emotion, making it the most comprehensive look yet at one of India’s modern masters.
