    A Sketch from Album No. 89 9279 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink 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 changing Indian landscapes, his varied images of nature and the portrayal of people and places. The above sketch illustrates two girls standing while holding each other by their shoulders in a relaxed manner. Nandalal uses delicate lines that create the visual effect of a sari, clinging to their bodies, accentuating the contours of their bodies. 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.
