HULL CITY.- The Ferens Art Gallery, Hull presents the exhibit Cinema India: The Art of Bollywood. Featuring works from pre-independent India to the present day, Cinema India: The Art of Bollywood charts the historical, political and cultural changes experienced by the country, as seen through the eyes of the Indian film industry. The exhibition brings together some of the most remarkable examples of Indian cinema art. From large-scale hoardings and posters, to photo cards, booklets and original film trailers, the exhibition will display landmark images and explore major themes which outline the stylistic and historic development of Indian cinema. Posters from many classic films are represented: the Oscar nominated epic Mother India; Sholay (with its distinctive and influential typography) and recent blockbusters such as Lagaan and K3G. The extraordinary talent of the hoarding artist is also celebrated. As part of the exhibition, hoarding artists from India have been specially commissioned to demonstrate their unique art. Three works will be hand-painted on site at the V&A providing a rare opportunity to see this fascinating technique first-hand.
