    A Sketch from Album No. 63 8648 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Through his various exploratory nature studies, Nandalal Bose created a visual language by the use of simple lines, tones and strokes to model and bring about a corporeality of form and substance. In the above drawing, Nandalal studies the contours of 'Shaonphul', a flower generally blossoms in autumn season in West Bengal. Nandalal Bose in his book, 'On Art' has written- "Nature is life itself and teeming always with infinite variety; it is in her that the artist always renews his experience and finds an unceasing flow of inspiration."
