    UNIT : 3 - THE MODERN TRENDS IN INDIAN ART

    MODERN PAINTING AND ARTISTS

    During British era literature, science and arts were developing with new techniques in almost
    all branches of artistic activities. The movement of modern painting originated in Calcutta
    (Kolkata), Bombay (Mumbai) and Madras (Chennai) and has spread to all parts of India.
    India’s first nationalist art school, Kala Bhavana, was set up in 1919 as part of the
    newly established Visva-Bharati University in Shantiniketan, conceptualised by poet
    Rabindranath Tagore. Artists approach to painting and the style he chosen depends on his
    own personality and on the influence of the times in which they live.

    These art schools tended to promote traditional Indian crafts, and academic and naturalist
    art that reflected Victorian tastes.

    up Bengal School along with his disciples like Nand Lal Bose, Vinod Bihari, Sharada Ukil
    and other.

    Gaganindranath Tagore, after 1925, rejected the traditionalism of Bengal school and he
    tried cubistic painting influenced by European Cubism.

    o His paintings of mysterious halls and rooms were made with vertical, horizontal and
    diagonal lines, which were quite different from the Cubist style of famous artist
    Pablo Picasso, who invented the style using geometrical facets.

    Rabindranath Tagore, the famous poet started paintings at the age of 67 and blocks the
    expressionist in his painting. Rabindranath Tagore in his painting focuses on
    expressionism.

    o Rabindranath created a small visual world that was a complete departure from the

    from Mughal and Pahari miniatures along with Ajanta frescoes.

    with how modern European masters like Picasso and Paul Klee painted.

    colours from vegetables and minerals.

    painted beautiful canvases in her 28 years short life span.

    Ramkinkar Baij at Shantiniketan started modelling sculpture and painting in an


    expressionistic way.

    o Ramkinkar Baij was an artist given to the celebration of nature. His art reflects his
    everyday experiences

    o For instance, his Santhal Family, made as an outdoor sculpture within the Kala
    Bhavana compound, turned the daily activity of a Santhal family setting out for
    work into a larger than a life size piece of art.

    pacify the angry Rama.

    seeds. One more head is visible at the far end of the
    composition which is again veiled and obscure.
