Nandalal Bose (1882-1966) was the foremost student of Abanindranath and one of the most recognized artists of the Bengal school. Later in Santiniketan, he was greatly influenced by Rabindranath’s modernist vision of art and his lyrical romanticism of the Bengal School was replaced with a more concrete artistic style based on perceptual reality and a sense of place. Nandalal was an avid sketcher. His portrait of Hirachand Dugar, one of the early students of Kala Bhavana, shows his unique drawing style. Hirachand Dugar’s son Indra Dugar (1918-1989) was also a renowned artist, who, unlike his famous father, did not have any institutional training in art. His works, however, are refined and skilful, showing the influence of the Santiniketan artists, particularly that of Nandalal Bose. K. G. Subramanyan (1924-2016), a student and later a teacher of Kala Bhavana, was a powerful modern artist who, through his artworks and writings, re-established the relevance of the Santiniketan art education and art practices in the global context of Contemporary Art. Like his illustrious mentors, Nandalal and Benodebehari, he experimented with a wide range of mediums, from terracotta and murals to painted platters. The two Saras or painted platters in the exhibition show how remarkably he revitalizes the sensibility of the traditional medium.
