    A Sketch from Album No. 85 9185 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
Through his various exploratory nature studies, as this one above, Nandalal created a visual language by the use of simple lines, tones and strokes to model and bring about a corporeality of form and substance. This particular sketch is one of many examples of Nandalal's acute observation of his natural surroundings, where few birds are seen picking plums under a dense grove of plum trees laden with leaves and plums. 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."
