Indian modern paintings
Traditional Indian fine art includes petroglyphs, as well as engraving or etching on stones. This technique was used five and a half thousand years ago. They cut out stone statues of Buddhists, which were built into caves, rocks and boulders. This form of art was later assigned to Hinduists and “Jain”. Unique forms of frescoes or large paintings on the walls and ceilings were invented by Buddhists two thousand years ago. And the Indians from the city of Kerala invented a certain style of frescoes that adorned the walls of their temples in the first millennium. Mogolov imported miniatures from Persia, and this largely replaced the paintings painted on an oil basis, which were introduced into the Indian subcontinent in the nineteenth century. This article will briefly consider some of the modern Indian schools of painting.
There is a school of Bengal, which is located in India and is devoted exclusively to modern painting. This school became popular during British rule at the beginning of the twentieth century. Despite the fact that the British contributed to her appearance, she became a symbol of Indian nationalism and independence. It was a reactionary movement in the traditional European style of painting. The implementation of their local manners required adaptation to the European academic style. In India, it was customary to draw mythological motifs. So did the artist, whose name was Raja Ravi Warma. He was a legendary person. It should be noted that this school broke up in 1920. Jamini Roy was studying at the European School of Painting. This artist learned to write there oil. He invented his own style and received a diploma for him in 1908. Nevertheless, he abandoned the rules of European and Bengal schools and began to draw inspiration from folk arts. Pictures such as Kalighat have become an example for him. They were written by wide, majestic strokes with the help of a huge brush. Not satisfied with work in such modern schools, he went to the village to learn their secrets from traditional masters. Over time, this person developed his own style, which some say, is very similar to Egyptian in nature. Francis Newton Suza founder Bombay progressive artists, as well as groups to facilitate the international movement of avant -garde in Indian painting. He later left for London in 1949 to become the first international-recognized star of India. His autobiographical picture called “Nirvana” not only helped increase its glory, but also popularized painting with oil. Experts noted his unique style, which, in fact, was expressionism.
