Abanindranath Tagore is a singular figure in modern Indian art. Abanindranath painted a range of subjects.

He had a leaning towards painting images with historic or literary allusions. He liked to paint sets of images dealing with a theme or a text such as the ‘Arabian Nights’ or the ‘Krishna Leela’.

He also enjoyed painting theatrical subjects. Literature and drama held great respect for him and he was an elegant and accomplished writer.

As a modernist at heart who was guided more by his sensibility than his training, he transformed the post-Renaissance academic realism into which he was trained with his series of contacts with oriental art into something more supple and responsive to the imaginative flights of his mind.
