The MFA’s South Asian art collection was founded by the scholar and collector Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. Although Coomaraswamy is a monumental and well-studied figure, much less has been written about the ways in which he worked with others, in particular his female colleagues who were accomplished writers, artists, dancers, and musicians. This lecture highlights the contributions of these collaborators and brings greater clarity to the roles of women in the growing awareness of Indian art and culture in the early 20th century.
