    A Sketch from Album No. 89 9289 Nandalal Bose Pen & Ink on postcard

×
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. Nandalal's fluid handling of the line and its strong delineation was the influence of the Far Eastern art practices. This particular postcard illustrates a stream of water flowing through a woodland covered by trees and undergrowth. Nandalal experimented frequently with the use of lines and linear styles executed from fine lines to thick contour lines in a calligraphic fashion to render the gush of water, the trees and shrubs.
