    Album No. - 4 (Landscapes) 7124 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal is known to have fervently sketched on postcard sized papers mostly using ink and brush, recording his surroundings. His small sketches vastly vary in detailing, some drawn quickly with just a few lines, others executed with more elaborate characteristics from an analytical perspective. The artist made the sketch during one of his travels to the the coast of Orissa, carefully observing the landscape, seascapes and the local tribes of the region. In his book, 'Nandalal Bose - The Doyen of Indian Art', Dinkar Kaushik observes that, 'Nandalal's respect for the infinite variety of nature was one of the major factors that forced him out of the world of myths and legends'.
