Madras Modern:
Regionalism and Identity
A comprehensive publication design documenting the Madras Art Movement—a regional search for modernist authenticity rooted in South Indian heritage.
The volume explores how the Government School of Arts and Crafts transformed from a colonial craft school into the epicentre of an art movement, driven by the radical pedagogy of D.P. Roy Chowdhury and K.C.S. Paniker. The design elegantly structures extensive historical context, archival curriculum shifts, and diverse artist vocabularies into a cohesive, scholarly archive.
