Book excerpt: The Bauhaus exhibition in Calcutta in 1922 was a unique experience on the international art scene-a meeting of artistic and intellectual affinities. At the Bauhaus's first international show, works by Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger, and other Bauhaus artists were presented alongside those of modern Indian artists such as Nandalal Bose and Sunayani Devi. This publication gives an account of how this unusual encounter came about.It presents the exhibition as an exemplary case of art history that dealt with shared visions rather than transmissions from the West to the East.
