Ramkinkar Baij was an artist given to the celebration of nature. His art reflects his everyday experiences. Almost all his sculptures and paintings are created as response to his environment. For instance, ‘Santhal Family’, made as an outdoor sculpture within the Kala Bhavana compound, turned the daily activity of a Santhal family setting out for work into a larger than a life size piece of art. Besides, it was made out of modern material like cement mixed with pebbles, held in shape with the help of metal armature.

Sculptors like D.P. Roy Choudhury had used academic realism to celebrate the labour of working classes as shown in his sculpture ‘The Triumph of Labour’.

On the walls of Hindi Bhavana in Shantiniketan, Benode Behari Mukherjee made a mural called Medieval Saints, in which he charts a history of medieval India through the lives of Tulsi Das, Kabir and others, and focuses on their humane teachings.

The artwork "Doodle" by Rabindranath Tagore, created in 1920, is housed at Visva-Bharati University in Shantiniketan, West Bengal, India.
