    A Sketch from Album No. 79 9020 Nandalal Bose Pen and ink on paper

×
Nandalal Bose had firm belief that for the creation of art an intimate understanding of the nature and its ways is imperative. In this ink drawing the thick, fluid handling of the line and their delineation in the calligraphic style has resulted in the realistic representation of a bird flying over a field. Dinkar Kowshik in his book, 'Nandalal Bose: The Doyen of Indian Art', writes- "Drawing was a definition, a distillation of form. Through line several individual variations of form were brought together, condensed, simplified and expressed in a general, universal statement."
