Description
“Art of Bengal – a vision defined” concentrated on delineating the total creative output of a generation, its commitment, and its philosophical and ethical concerns, and it charted the trajectory of that complex and compelling story.
The ten artists, i.e. Bikash Bhattacharjee, Arun Bose, Jogen Chowdhury, Somnath Hore, Meera Mukherjee, Ganesh Pyne, Sarbari Roy Chowdhury, Lalu Prosad Shaw, Arpita Singh and K. G. Subramanyan, featured in this book, belong to the generation that largely reworked and repositioned the stance of visual art in modern India. Founded on the detailed academic study made of the period by Dr. Rudrangshu Mukherjee, Dr. Bhaswati Chakravorty, Dr. Sovon Som, and Ms. Rita Datta, this book holds the glass closer to the historical, socio-cultural, and artistic conditions of the period
