To step into “Between Sight and Insight: Glimpses of Benode Behari Mukherjee” at both the Vadehra Galleries in Delhi is to be invited into the mapping of an inspirational odyssey that presents one of the greatest artists and educators in our country. Small piquant, large and medium, the drawings, watercolours and mixed media with a few collages thrown in reflect the consummate ease he had with tempera, watercolour, crayon, felt tip pen and Chinese ink on paper; a treat for tired eyes are the etchings, lithographs and paper collages. Sensitivity stems when you read the notes and know he struggled with his eyesight.
