    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 61 8606 Nandalal Bose Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal Bose mastered the Sino-Japanese techniques of painting, being first influenced by Okakura Kakuzo and the train of Japanese artists who visited India after him especially Arai Kampo. The blurring of the outlines and the harmonious dilution of colours were techniques Nandalal acquired from the arts of the Far East. In the above monochromatic composition, Nandalal uses a series of diverse tones and brush strokes to render the mound of earth along the seashore of Gopalpur.
