Bengal School of Art

The Bengal School of Art was an influential art movement in India during the early 20th century, emphasizing a return to traditional Indian styles and themes as a form of cultural revival. Led by artists like Abanindranath Tagore, it sought to break away from Western artistic influences and foster a distinct Indian identity in art. The movement incorporated classical Indian techniques, motifs, and spirituality, inspiring a sense of national pride and cultural independence. It played a crucial role in shaping modern Indian art and establishing a unique national aesthetic.
