    Nandalal Bose

    A Sketch from Album No. 64 8667 Nandalal Bose Watercolour on postcard

×
Nandalal Bose 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 art practices and traditions not only of India but also those of other nations and re-produced them in his environs in Santiniketan. In the above monochromatic painting, Nandalal executes a hilly landscape from his memory using Far Eastern techniques of modulating tones and blurring outlines.
