    SUMI PAINTING-ANIMALS 5312 Nandalal Bose Watercolour 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 artist has here depicted two dogs as they laze amidst a grove of bamboo trees, with a range of strokes in tonal variations capturing the rhythm and pattern in the image.
