Landscapes and Inner Visions

New Delhi, 1985

Organised by Dhoomimal Art Centre and held at AIFACS Galleries, this exhibition marked a mature phase in Manohar Kaul’s journey as a painter. Moving beyond naturalistic depiction, his Kashmir landscapes now revealed a metaphysical shift—toward silence, reflection, and spiritual resonance. Critics noted his ability to transform scenery into a “grandiose spectacle” where mountain, light, and sky became meditations on the sublime.
