        "description": "Nandalal Bose was a leader among artists of India\u2019s early modern period who sought a new Indian art that shed all association with Western styles, materials, and subjects. A close associate of Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi, Nandalal Bose created a wide range of artworks that became the visual component of India\u2019s independence movement. After India achieved independence from Britain in 1947, Nandalal illustrated India\u2019s new constitution. <br><br>Near the end of his life he created daily sketches in Japanese ink on paper. His pan-Asian style derived from his conviction that a divine spirit underlies all of nature. These ink sketches depict traditional mountain villages and members of fishing communities existing in harmony with nature, unencumbered by industrialization and Westernization.",
