    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 62 8626 Nandalal Bose Watercolour on postcard

×
Nandalal explored a wide range of traditions to arrive at his unique visual language and has left behind a large corpus of works in a wide variety of styles, expressions and techniques. He studied the art practices and traditions not only of India but also those of other nations and re-produced them in his environs in Santiniketan. His intent being to understand and assimilate the various artistic elements involved for excelling in his domain and which also enriched his own visual vocabulary. Nandalal makes use of the Far Eastern techniques of painting in this monochromatic landscape on postcard, by executing the contours of the hill and trees with mere blots of colour and diluted brush strokes.
