School of Bengal

The School of Bengal, also known as the Bengal School of Art, was an influential Indian art movement that began in the early 20th century, around 1905. It aimed to revive traditional Indian art forms and ideals, moving away from Western styles introduced during colonial rule. Artists like Abanindranath Tagore focused on Indian themes, traditional techniques, and regional aesthetics, fostering a sense of cultural identity and pride. The movement played a key role in shaping modern Indian art and promoting nationalistic sentiments, emphasizing spirituality, nature, and Indian craftsmanship in their works.
