Bengal

From the cradle of the Eastern Renaissance, emerges a blend of traditional and folk art of Bengal which houses the Patua artist community, and the noteworthy Kalighat artists. Within the cusp of tradition and modernity, fewer states have been able to bring out the dialogue regarding folk and contemporary. Bengal’s vibrancy exudes art, theatre, music like Baul, and textiles like Daccai muslin. It captures the mystical within the folk tradition of Pattachitra and the social satire in the Kalighat Paintings. The collection, deeply rooted in tradition, offers a glimpse into the extraordinary craftsmanship that has been followed from generation to generation and still continues to captivate art connoisseurs.
