Many of the 20th century poets in Bombay were painters, and vice versa. With the Progressive Artists Group, IPTA, the film industry, progressive writers association and so much more thriving in the city, it wasn’t uncommon for the different communities to meet, mingle, and exchange work. During this crawl, we pay homage to artists like Gieve Patel, Gulammohammad Sheikh, Bhanu Athiya, Dilip Chitre, amongst others who contributed to Bombay becoming an artistic hub.
