Abanindranath Tagore’s 150th birth anniversary- 7th August
Contributions of Abanindranath Tagore towards Indian art and culture
He first created the Indian Society of Oriental Art & later went on to establish Bengal school of art. He believed that Indian art & its art forms gave importance to spirituality as opposed to the West which stressed on materialism, thus rejecting it. His idea of modernizing Mughal and Rajput paintings eventually gave rise to modern Indian painting, which took birth at his Bengal school of art Most of his works revolved around Hindu philosophy. In his later works, Abanindranath started integrating Chinese and Japanese calligraphic traditions into his style. The intention behind this move was to construct an amalgamation of the modern pan-Asian artistic tradition and the common elements of Eastern artistic and spiritual culture.
