    A Sketch from Album No. 89 9274 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
Nandalal's exploration of the different ways of delineating a line allowed him to experiment in representation of lines in its varying forms adding rhythm, vigour and life to the forms of nature. In this particular drawing, Nandalal studies in detail the contours of a flower of an opium plant with its stem and leaves. Nandalal, with the subtle handling and soft delineation, carefully studies the rhythm and pattern in the shape and contour of the organic form. 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."
