Abanindranath was the main artist and creator of the Indian Society of Oriental Art. Art historian Partha Mitter writes, “The first generation of the students of Abanindranath engaged in recovering the lost language of Indian art.” To create awareness that modern Indians could benefit from this rich past, Abanindranath was the main artist and creator of an important journal, Indian Society of Oriental Art.

In 1937, Nandalal Bose created the Haripura Posters featuring Dhaki, which are now displayed at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) in New Delhi, India.

Visva-Bharati University was founded by Rabindranath Tagore. Kala Bhavana was India’s first national art school. It was part of the Visva-Bharati University founded by Rabindranath Tagore at Shantiniketan.

Abanindranath enjoyed the support of British administrator and principal of the Calcutta School of Art, E. B. Havell (1861–1934). Both Abanindranath and Havell were critical of colonial Art Schools and the manner in which European taste in art was being imposed on Indians. They firmly believed in creating a new type of painting that was Indian not only in subject matter but also in style. For them, Mughal and Pahari miniatures, for example, were more important sources of inspiration, rather than either the Company School of Painting or academic style taught in the colonial Art Schools.
