×
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. The subject here being 'Wild Animals' executed from his memory and experiences. R. Siva Kumar in the book, 'Rhythms of India: The Art of Nandalal Bose' writes, "Freed of the distracting noises of nation and tradition, these are quieter images. Here the artist becomes the marks his tool leaves on the paper, and the world becomes the weightless imprint of touch and space it leaves on his consciousness." This painting was purchased from collection of Shri Biswaroop Bose and Smt. Nivedita Bose.
