    A Sketch from Album No. 72 8873 Nandalal Bose Pencil on postcard

×
Nandalal had firm belief that for the creation of art an intimate understanding of the nature and its ways is imperative. The range of Nandalal's artistic expression is seen in the various landscapes with human figures, his varied images of nature and the Santiniketan murals. His works reflect the changing Indian landscape, portraying people and places.The above composition shows two men in the open fields. Dinkar Kowshik in his article 'Drawings and Sketches of Nandalal' in the book, "Nandalal Bose - A collection of Essays" writes, "Much of his (Nandalal) strength and sensitive wealth finds expression in the spontaneity of his sketches. They are a veritable treasure of shrewd observation, powerful calligraphy, psychological insight, rich sallies of humour and emphatic portrayal of the flora and fauna."
