Michelle, I'd also suggest you look at Salman Rushdie's The Moor's Last 
Sigh, which has a fascinating reconstruction of the early days of the 
Progressive Artists' Group of Bombay, in late 1940s and early 1950s. It was 
the best period of modern Indian art iMHO, and Rushdie does a superb job 
weaving in the real stories of Husain, Raza and Ara with the life of his 
fictional painter, Aurora Zogoiby.
