Part of an exhibition in the MAS museum in Antwerp in 2023.
Satish Gujral was an internationally acclaimed artist, muralist, sculptor, architect and writer. In his quest for a unique Indian artistic identity, free of European influences, Gujral came to be known as one of the pioneers of modernism in post-Independent India.
During the course of his seven-decade career, he also designed several notable buildings, including the Belgium Embassy in New Delhi.
