Preface

It has been noted time and again by many that there are very few studies on the art of Kerala barring a few essays. Hence it is difficult to get authentic vital references and information. Many critics like Asok Mitra have seen the dawn of modernity in Indian art in Ravivarma, but unfortunately plastic arts did not have a healthy development after Ravivarma till the emergence of K.C.S. Panikkar. But the second half of the 20th Century picked up momentum in art activity.

The last decade of the 20th Century saw a healthy growth in the art activity of Kerala. A few galleries including those of Kerala Lalithakala Akademi at Ernakulam, Thrissur and Kozhikkode opened in 1990s, and at Kanjanhgad and Kottayam later helped to promote a 'gallery culture' which we did not have till recently. The lack of display venue for the artists was a real impediment that made the Kerala art scenario weak.
