Art & Culture Prelims Question

The beginning of 1900 was marked with national spirit in India. Every group of people participated in the freedom struggle. One of the ways of protest was rejecting all that was British.
The artists of Bengal, under the leadership Abanindranath Tagore and Nandalal Bose, protested against the British by rejecting to paint in the Western style.
Instead, they visited Ajanta and explored the possibilities of painting in the Indian way, by using natural, powder colours. They understood the strength of line and content in the India painting.
The Japanese artists like Hakakura visited India and the Indian artists learnt the wash technique in water colour. (Number of times the light coating of colours, mixed with water, has to be given in this technique. Care has to be taken in drying the surface each time before painting. 7-21 coats of wash were used.)
Indian natural tempera colours, water colours, mural and miniature styles of paintings were taken seriously again. With all these efforts, the revival of the Indian painting took place.
From 1900 to 1920, the Indian artists refused to paint in the British style. This revivalist movement originated in Bengal and spread to other parts of India. The woman artist by name Amrita Sher Gill and the Noble Laureate Rabindranath Tagore gave the insight of universality to the Indian art.
