Bengal School Of Art Paintings
The Bengal School of Art or Neo-Bengal School was founded by Abanindranath Tagore. He led the revivalist movement in Bengal in the field of modern Indian paintings with the help of a band of disciples such as Nandalal Bose, A.K. Halder, K.N. Majumdar, S.N. Gupta and a host of others.
The Bengal School of Art, was an art movement and a style of Indian painting that originated in Bengal, primarily Kolkata and Shantiniketan. It is sometimes criticised because it took art back to the subject matter of ancient periods in an imitative manner without much creativity.
The Bengal painters have made best possible efforts to bring in the rhythm, linear gracefulness and poise of Ajanta in their painting. Influence of Mughal and Rajasthan School can also be seen. Bengal School of Art refers to the people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.
