Madhubani paintings from the collection and selected companion works
06 Aug 2005 to 30 Oct 2005
Curator: Bala Starr
Level two north gallery
The University of Melbourne’s collection
of thirty vibrant and unusual Madhubani paintings on paper from North
India is given its first dedicated display at the museum. Originally
acquired in 1982 as an aid in teaching Hindu mythology by the
then-Department of Indian Studies, the collection reflects the strong
connections between the university’s cultural collections and its
teaching programs.
Companion works include Melbourne artist
Louise Paramor's series of luminous head-and-shoulder portraits, with
simply inscribed first names, depicting Indian artists she met during a
three-month Asialink residency in 1995 at the Bharat Bhavan Multi-Arts
Complex in Bhopal.
