The objective of the visit was to learn and appreciate the art work done by the Brunners : Elizabeth Sass Brunner (mother) and Elizabeth Brunner (daughter), Hungarian painters who lived in India for about seventy years. Hence, their art work is deeply influenced by Indian landscape, personalities and spirituality.
The selected students also met the Chief archivist Ms. Himani Pande who explained to them the importance of archives, and told them about the Brunners' will which states that all their paintings should be preserved in India by IGNCA.
The students will now try to recreate the magic of the art of the Brunners by reproducing some of their works.
