Nandalal Bose
Postcard to Ramesh Charan Basu Majumdar from Puri
1941
Collection: JBMRC
As you lose yourself in the waves of Nandalal’s drawing from Puri, it is difficult not to think of Hokusai’s “The Great Wave of Kanagawa.” Following his travels and stay in Japan in 1924 and the resulting cultural exchanges, Nandalal would have encountered the school of Ukiyo-e woodcut prints that were in wide circulation.
