Conversation:
"Collecting Miniature Paintings from India: Who's Who (and
Why?)"
In addition to being an independent curator
and scholar, Catherine Glynn is a collector. She and her late
husband Ralph Benkaim (1914-2001) specialized in collecting Indian
miniature paintings along with other forms of South Asian art.
In a conversation with curator of Asian art Ronald Otsuka, Glynn
presents a historic overview of Indian minature painting collections.
Small hand-painted images illustrated religious manuscripts and
classical literary texts. Courtly patrons commissioned artists
whose paintings defined regional styles. Long prized in India,
miniature paintings attracted the attention of American and European
libraries, museums, and private collectors. Glynn will also discuss
the more personal aspects of her collection and how she formed
it.
Workshop:
"Miniature Paintings from India: First It's Mine and Then
It's Yours"
Catherine Glynn examines select examples of
Indian miniature paintings in the Denver Art Museum's collection
and elaborates on the significance of identifying regional schools
and styles. Included in the selection are works that she donated
herself as well as others that she encouraged a friend to give.
She offers beneficial advice for visitors who want to see Indian
miniature paintings in museums and gives tips to those who may
be interested in developing collections in the future. Among the
items considered in her presentation are examples of Mughal, Rajput
and Pahari paintings.
