Paintings of Abanindranath Tagore

Accompanied by the writings of R Siva Kumar, this monograph includes a biography of the artist Abanindranath Tagore as well as a thorough analysis of his growth as an artist. A major contributor to modern Indian art, Tagore breaks away from tradition to fuse individualism into his art. It is this artistic evolution that the book tries to trace while raising important questions about Tagore's modernism.
