India Ink is a collection of letters written by American Martha McKee Keehn between 1953 and 1961, when her family lived in India. Through Martha’s letters, the story of the Keehn family adjusting to the India way of life unfolds running parallel to their role as active collectors of modern Indian art. Her engaging jottings interspersed with paintings from their collection captures the optimism and creative spirit of 1950s India, basking in the warm sun of its new-found independence.
