    SUMI PAINTING - A LANDSCAPE 5383 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 above painting belongs to the 'Sumi Paintings- A Landscape' series. The artist has executed a landscape with trees in the foreground and background, in fluid watercolour strokes with mere dabs and dashes, capturing the rhythm and pattern in the image. This painting was purchased from the collection of Shri Biswaroop
