Only Statement 'B' is correct.

Both Statements are correct.

Both Statements are incorrect.

Correct Answer:

Only Statement 'B' is correct.

Explanation:

Answer-  Only Statement 'B' is correct.

Nandalal Bose had trained under Abanindranath Tagore before joining Kala Bhavana not Gaganendranath Tagore.

Nandalal Bose in 1921–1922 joined the Kala Bhavana. His training under Abanindranath Tagore made him familiar with nationalism in art but it did not hinder him from allowing his students and other teachers to explore new avenues of artistic expression.
Benode Behari Mukherjee and Ramkinker Baij, Bose’s most creative students, gave a lot of thought as how to understand the world. They developed their own unique style of sketching and painting that could capture not only their immediate environment like flora and fauna but also those who lived there. Shantiniketan had a large population of Santhal tribe at its outskirts, and these artists often painted them and made sculptures based on them. Apart from this, themes from literary sources also interested them.
