    A BIRD FLYING AND THE HILL 5648 Nandalal Bose Watercolor on Paper

×
This painting belongs to a series of monochromatic ink and watercolour paintings inspired by the Sumi-e Japanese technique the artist employed in the last phase of his life. These compositions were stripped to the bare minimum where only a few strokes of ink were employed to create natural forms in an effortless approach. The subject here being 'A Bird flying and the Hill' executed from his memory and experiences. The artist has here depicted a bird flying over a hill, rendered in a few brush strokes with mere dabs and dashes of ink. This painting was purchased from the collection of Shri Biswaroop Bose and Smt. Nivedita Bose, children of Nandalal Bose.
