1970, Balraj Khanna, Festival -- Tate Britain (London)
From the museum label: Stretching over three and a half metres in length, this painting is an expanse of leaping, tangled forms simultaneously exploding and contracting in space. Khanna is interested in using abstraction to explore related ideas of community and togetherness. Here, the painting's title refers to the universal nature of festivals across all cultures and countries. This work, alongside Out of the Blue (2), was exhibited in the 1989 exhibition The Other Story: Afro-Asian Artists in Post-war Britain at the Hayward Gallery, London, where Khanna served on the exhibition committee.
