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.
