Abanindranath Tagore 
Abanindranath Tagore was born in Jorasanko town of west Bengal. Kolkata to 
Gunendranath Tagore. His grandfather was Girindranath Tagore,the second son 
of "Prince' Dwarkanath Tagore. He is a member of the distinguished Tagore family, and a 
nephew of the poet Rabindranath Tagore. His grandfather and his elder brother 
Gaganendranath Tagore were also artists. 
He was one of the most prominent artists of the Bengal school of painting, along with being the 
first major supporter of swadeshi values in the Indian art. Abanindranath is also regarded as a 
proficient and accomplished writer. The painter tried to modernize Moghul and Rajput 
traditions as an answer to the growing influence of Western art under the British Raj. 
Abanindranath made use of his father's paint-box to paint rural scenes with cottages and palm 
trees. He gradually acquired considerable skill in drawing similar interesting pictures with his 
father's red and blue and other colored pencils. He was then about nine years of age. 
Abanindranath was introduced to art in the 1880s, when he was studying at the Sanskrit 
College. There he took a few lessons in Art from his class-mate, Anukul Chatterjee of 
Bhawanipur whom he still remembers clearly and the beautiful pencil outline drawings that he 
used to make. Although he was not very 
strong in his English, Abanindranath somehow managed to get promoted to the first class, being 
exceptionally well for his age in the Sanskrit language and literature. 
He left the Sanskrit College after nine years of study and studied English as a special student at 
St. Xavier's College, which he attended for about a year and a half. 
In 1897, the Vice-Principal of 'Calcutta Government School of Art' started teaching the 
traditional European academic manner to Abanindranath Tagore. During that time, Tagore 
developed an interest in watercolors and also came under the influence of Mughal art. He made 
some beautiful paintings based on the life of Lord Krishna, reflecting a strong influence of the 
Mughal style. 
Hindu philosophy was becoming increasingly influential in the West following the spread of the 
Theosophy movement. Tagore believed that Indian traditions could be adapted to express these 
new values, and to promote a progressive Indian national culture. 
Abanindranath Tagore believed in the traditional Indian techniques of painting. His philosophy 
existed in rejecting the materialistic art of the west and coming back to the Indian traditional art 
forms. He was very much influenced by the Mughal School of painting as well as Whistler's 
Aestheticism. In his later works, Abanindranath started integrating Chinese and Japanese 
calligraphic traditions into his style. 
He was the Guru to a number of artists.
Some of his close students are Nandalal Bose, Kalipada Ghoshal, Surendranath Ganguly, Asit 
Kumar Haldar, Sarada Ukil, Kshitindranath Majumdar, Samarendranath Gupta, Mukul Dey, K. 
Venkatappa, Jamini Roy,and Ranada Ukil. 
His some of the most famous paintings are- abhisarika, the journeys end, passing of shah jahan, 
moon light music party, buddha and sujata, krishna lila and summer. 
Passing of shahjahan and the was the masterpies of abanindranath tagore.

AAbanindranath tagore

  • 1. Abanindranath Tagore Abanindranath Tagore was born in Jorasanko town of west Bengal. Kolkata to Gunendranath Tagore. His grandfather was Girindranath Tagore,the second son of "Prince' Dwarkanath Tagore. He is a member of the distinguished Tagore family, and a nephew of the poet Rabindranath Tagore. His grandfather and his elder brother Gaganendranath Tagore were also artists. He was one of the most prominent artists of the Bengal school of painting, along with being the first major supporter of swadeshi values in the Indian art. Abanindranath is also regarded as a proficient and accomplished writer. The painter tried to modernize Moghul and Rajput traditions as an answer to the growing influence of Western art under the British Raj. Abanindranath made use of his father's paint-box to paint rural scenes with cottages and palm trees. He gradually acquired considerable skill in drawing similar interesting pictures with his father's red and blue and other colored pencils. He was then about nine years of age. Abanindranath was introduced to art in the 1880s, when he was studying at the Sanskrit College. There he took a few lessons in Art from his class-mate, Anukul Chatterjee of Bhawanipur whom he still remembers clearly and the beautiful pencil outline drawings that he used to make. Although he was not very strong in his English, Abanindranath somehow managed to get promoted to the first class, being exceptionally well for his age in the Sanskrit language and literature. He left the Sanskrit College after nine years of study and studied English as a special student at St. Xavier's College, which he attended for about a year and a half. In 1897, the Vice-Principal of 'Calcutta Government School of Art' started teaching the traditional European academic manner to Abanindranath Tagore. During that time, Tagore developed an interest in watercolors and also came under the influence of Mughal art. He made some beautiful paintings based on the life of Lord Krishna, reflecting a strong influence of the Mughal style. Hindu philosophy was becoming increasingly influential in the West following the spread of the Theosophy movement. Tagore believed that Indian traditions could be adapted to express these new values, and to promote a progressive Indian national culture. Abanindranath Tagore believed in the traditional Indian techniques of painting. His philosophy existed in rejecting the materialistic art of the west and coming back to the Indian traditional art forms. He was very much influenced by the Mughal School of painting as well as Whistler's Aestheticism. In his later works, Abanindranath started integrating Chinese and Japanese calligraphic traditions into his style. He was the Guru to a number of artists.
