Indeed, Goswamy has had a prolific career as an art historian and writer. He has written and lectured extensively and been a guest curator of major exhibitions of Indian art across the world, most recently of the path-breaking ‘Masters of Indian Painting’ exhibition at Museum Rietberg in Zurich and at the Metropolitan Museum, New York. He has also been a visiting professor at the universities of Heidelberg, Pennsylvania, California, Texas and Zurich. Goswamy has authored 25 books, but his work has been especially influential in the field of Pahari painting, like reconstructing the filial-artistic network of one of the greatest Indian painter families: Pandit Seu and his sons Nainsukh and Manaku, as well as their many artist grandchildren and cousins. He believes that court styles could vary, but different families shared common techniques and eccentricities. In 1990, Goswamy expanded his research to include all the masters of Pahari painting, and with Swiss historian Eberhardt Fischer, produced a show that redrafted the history of the art of the Punjab hills, focusing on families and individuals—that is, artists—rather than courts that commissioned them.
