Abanindranath Tagore was an Indian painter who was the principal artist and creator of the Indian Society of Oriental Art in 1907. He founded the influential Bengal school of art, which led to the development of modern Indian painting. Tagore sought to modernise Mughal and Rajput styles to counter the influence of Western models of art, as taught in art schools under the British Raj. Along with other artists from the Bengal school of art, Tagore advocated in favour of a nationalistic Indian art derived from Indian art history, drawing inspiration from the Ajanta Caves. Tagores work was so successful that it was eventually accepted and promoted as a national Indian style within British art institutions. Southeast Asian Fine Art. One of a kind artwork.
