Über das Gemälde

Gaganendranath Tagore (1867-1938) was a satirical cartoonist and painter. Born in Calcutta, Gaganendranath grew up in a family whose exceptional creativity spearheaded Calcutta's cultural scene. Gaganendranath was nephew of poet Rabindranath Tagore and brother of Abanindranath Tagore, the pioneer and leading exponent of the Bengal School of Art.

In this postcard, Gaganendranath experiments with cubism, loosely applying some of its formal principles to depict a bazaar street scene. He has applied a selection of bright colours in a rough manner. The artist experiments with prisms, cubes and refracted planes of light and colour to evoke fantastic world of abstract and cubist compositions. The image is painted on a postcard which was sent by the artist to Roop Krishna Esq. The message on the reverse reads: 'My dear Roop, many thanks for your kind greetings for the new year...I am practising Cubism and this is the result. Yours affl. G.Tagore.' Postmark dated 17 April.
