Gaganendranath Tagore was the artist who made caricatures often mocking rich Bengalis for blindly following European living styles.

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 Tagore was the main artist and creator of an important journal, Indian Society of Oriental Art. In this manner, he was also the first major supporter of Swadeshi values in Indian art, which best manifested in the creation of Bengal School of Art. 

At the beginning of the twentieth century, if on one hand, pan-Asianism was gaining popularity, ideas about modern European art also travelled to India. Hence, the year 1922 may be regarded as a remarkable one, when an important exhibition of works by Paul Klee, Kandinsky and other artists, who were part of the Bauhaus School in Germany, travelled to Calcutta.

At Kala Bhavana, Nandalal founded the intellectual and artistic milieu to create an Indian style in art. By paying attention to the folk art forms that he saw around in Shantiniketan, he began to focus on the language of art. He also illustrated primers in Bengali with woodcuts and understood the role of art in teaching new ideas. For this reason, Mahatma Gandhi invited him to paint panels that were put on display at the Congress session at Haripura in 1937.
