Philip Hicken was right when he said, "Art isn't painting, it's love", and we agree because it speaks when words fail to explain. It won't be wrong to say that our country is all about art, and we are lucky to have seen artists like M.F Hussain, Tyeb Mehta, Jamini Roy, S.H Raza, and many more such gems. We have entered 2021, and the contemporary artists are all geared up to leave us awestruck with their amazing artwork.
