Nandalal Bose : Postcards & More, brings together a rare selection of postcards, sketches, and a significant demonstrative work on oil by one of the foremost pioneers of modern Indian art.
Moving beyond the celebrated public image of Nandalal Bose, the exhibition offers an intimate glimpse into the artist's everyday practice through works created on postcards -spaces where observation, experimentation, and personal expression converge. Executed largely in monochrome, these works reveal Bose's keen engagement with nature, rural life, folk culture, and the rhythms of daily experience. Whether sketching flora and fauna, recording fleeting impressions, or corresponding with friends, students, and family, Bose transformed the humble postcard into a site of artistic inquiry.
These works illuminate the breadth of Bose's creative vision, revealing how the poetic sensibility that informed his monumental achievements also found expression in the smallest and most personal of formats.
