Baroda Group

The Baroda Group refers to the artists involved with the Faculty of Fine Arts at Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, now known as Vadodara in Gujarat state of India. An experimental art school that drew artists of a variety of backgrounds, the Baroda Group offered an alternative to the nationalism associated with Santiniketan and the Bengal School.[1]

The dynamic group was formed in 1957 under the guidance of N. S. Bendre.[2] Prominent artists associated with the group were N. S. Bendre, Bhupen Khakhar, Gulam Mohammed Sheikh, Ratan Parimoo, Rekha Rodwittiya, Jyotsna Bhatt, Vivan Sundaram, K. G. Subramanyan, Jayant Parikh[3] and Jeram Patel.[4][2]
