Ranjit Hoskote has curated a show on eminent artist Jehangir Sabavala, a Parsi gentleman full of old-world charm, who passed away in 2011. Sabavala was a contemporary of MF Husain, Tyeb Mehta and VS Gaitonde, but considered himself an outlier. He didn't belong to any group; his commitment lay only towards the enchanting scapes that he painted on his canvas over a six-decade long career. The exhibition, currently on at the Jehangir Nicholson Gallery at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sanghralaya in Mumbai, will show never-seen-before works that were bequeathed to the museum by the artist's wife, Shireen. Called 'Unpacking the Studio: Celebrating the Jehangir Sabavala Bequest', the exhibition is an important lesson in history, of a city, and a country.
