Bengal School of Art
The Bengal School of painting
was a style and approach of art which flourished in India during the British
Raj in the early part of the 20th century. The art was associated to Indian
nationalism, at the same time; it was supported and promoted by British arts
administrators as well. Just like the richness of the culture of Bengal, Bengal
school of painting is affluent and vibrant. The colours and graceful beauty of
this painting school are splashed in the piece of writing that follows
Abanindranath Tagore and
Havell were played one of the major rolls in Bengal school of art. They
believed that the former’s style is an expression of distinct spiritual
qualities of India, as contrasting to the materialism of the Western countries
The work of Bengal school of
art is really impressive. I feel that the essence of Ajanta
is clearly noticeable in Bengal school paintings. The paintings are simple and
standard. Some of them are mysterious who really push us to think deeply. Figures
were refined and elegant without any hardness. Attractive colour scheme
technique has been used with less bright colours to bring synchronization. The
paintings have an impact of Mughal and Rajasthani style of art. Most of art works
are literal but some of them has touch of modernism. Attempts of abstract painting
are really nice. The paintings exhibited dexterously exposed light and shade
with no hardness. It fees so nice while observing each and every painting by different
angles and different perspective. Many of paintings are elegant and lively. Its
grace and glamour has given new heights to the Indian painting.
