Tusshar Kapoor @ Bendre Art Inauguration



Born in 1910 in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Narayan Shridhar Bendre is counted amongst those masters whose pioneering talents and committed contributions to the art of modern India were instrumental in bringing the art of India to it’s glorious blossoming.

After completing his Bachelor of Arts at Agra University, Bendre took the first steps into his career in art with his initial training at the State Art School, Indore, where the quasi-modernist landscape painting of the Indore School made an impact on his early works. This was followed by the Government Diploma in Art from Bombay in 1933. In 1940, he moved to Chennai to work as the art director for a film company. Recognition of his gifted brush came early with the Silver Medal from the Bombay Art Society in 1934, and honour was once again bestowed with the Gold Medal in 1941.

Between 1947 and 1950, Bendre an ardent traveller, visited America, Europe, the Middle East and Japan. In New York he had the opportunity to study printmaking, and he also held a solo exhibition at the Windermere Gallery, New York, in 1948. On his European sojourn, he accrued inspirations from the original works of the Modernist masters. In 1950, he joined the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S.University of Baroda, as the first Reader and Head of the Department of Painting, where he rose to be the Dean of the Faculty, in 1959. Bendre had the privilege of spending time with his other acclaimed contemporaries, Nandalal Bose, Ram Kinkar Baij and Benode Behari Mukherjee, as an Artist in Residence at Shantiniketan, in 1945. In 1954, Bendre was in a committee of nine artists under whose watchful eyes, the Lalit Kala Akademy was set up

Bendre's early work had been labeled as being academic and impressionist, dominated by landscapes and portraits in oils and gouache. But, experiments with Cubist, Expressionist and abstract tendencies marked his works during his Baroda days and yielded such exceptional paintings as Thorn (which won the National Award in 1955), Sunflowers, The Parrot and the Chameleon. His brush was witness to his drifting loyalities to trends in mainstream European modernism, and his efforts to blend Indian themes and forms with them.

Bendre’s journey of modernism that ran from Bombay to Baroda culminated in the formation of the Baroda Group of artists in 1956. Several of the first generation of his students at Baroda, were members of the Group. It held regular shows in Bombay, Ahmedabad and Baroda, extensively showcasing the work being produced at the new art school. After he resigned from Baroda, Bendre explored Pointillism in his own manner, holding exhibitions regularly in Bombay.

In 1969, Bendre was awarded the Padamshri by the President of India. He was elected to chair the International Jury at the Second Indian Triennale in New Delhi in 1971 and was fellow of the Lalit Kala Akademi in 1974. A Retrospective Exhibition at the Lalit Kala Academy in 1974, was held as a tribute to his talent. The Aban-Gagan Award from Vishwa Bharati University in 1984, and the Kalidas Samman in 1984 were some of the other honours earned by Bendre before he passed away in 1992.

Kajol and Rishi Kapoor @ Stella Adler Acting Studio Launch



Since its founding in 1949, the school has trained thousands of actors many of whom have gone on to important theater and film careers.Its roots, however, go back even farther, to Jacob P. Adler, one of the great actors of the American Yiddish Theater, and also include Harold Clurman, Stella’s second husband and co-founder of the Group Theater. In 1969, The Stella Adler Studio became the first professional actor training school to become affiliated with NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. The spirit that has animated the Adler family for over one hundred years stems from the insight that growth as an actor and growth as a human being are synonymous.

The scope of the school’s current activities can be summarized in three categories: 1) Professional Actor Training, the core activity of the Studio; 2) The Stella Adler Outreach Division, which provides free acting classes to low income inner city teenagers and 3) The Harold Clurman Art Series which presents cultural events that are free and open to the public. Recent participants in the arts series include Julianne Moore, Harold Mabern, Harold Bloom, John Patrick Shanley, Mark Strand and David Amram.

The Stella Adler Studio upholds a unique focus in American actor training. Like Jacob, Stella and Harold, the studio affirms that the primary function of theater is to uplift humanity. A successful student for Stella is not necessarily one who becomes famous or rich, but one who connects to their deeper self and to our shared humanity. The school is a cultural center determined to train actors and support artists not despite, but in the face of a world in crisis. Programs like the Outreach Division help to create an environment for all students to become actors like Stella and those in the Group Theater: actors who are socially and consciously aware and whose awareness contributes to their ability to act passionately.

Anne French’s first brand ambassador – three years ago – was actress Vidya Malvade, seen recently in the film, Chak De! India. Between Kapoor’s appointment and then, Anne French used a foreign model for its commercials. While Malvade was ambassador, the focus was on the cream softening the skin while removing unwanted hair. The ad featuring the foreign model highlighted the cream’s quick use quotient.

"It's a big day for me," said Anupam, 55, who has starred in serious films like ‘Saransh’ and ‘Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Mara’. "Geeta Dass did not paint me as a hero. She portrayed my failures in the exhibition. That's what I liked." 

Amitabh Bachchan launched the brochure of the company along with Anupam. 

"I'm very happy to see these paintings. Also I'm very happy that Anupam has collected all his ventures in this brochure, we should learn a lot from him," Big B said.

Juhi, who has worked with Anupam in films including ‘Darr’, walked down memory lane. 

"When I really worked with him, I was a new actor and he was doing a lot of films, he was very commercial, he was in every film. I just knew him briefly on the sets," Juhi said. 

"It's only much later, in the last few years, when I watched his play, that I got to know the hardships he has gone through, the struggle he has seen." 

"I also remember that there was a time when I was going through a low phase and how he was consoling me one day and pacifying me, and giving me a positive outlook on things, that actually helped me come out of it," she added.
