CATALOGUE NOTES K.S.Kulkarni was born in 1916 in Karnataka. In 1945, Kulkarni joined the art department of the Delhi Polytechnic and became a member of Delhi’s All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society and two years later, he founded two creative spaces: Delhi Shilpi Chakra and Triveni Kala Sangam. Kulkarni’s art was inspired by classical Indian figures in the Ajanta murals and Chola bronzes, and the vitality of modernism. He played with sensuousness of colour and form to heighten the plastic potentiality of form.
