About the Book:

Written in lucid and simple style this biography of Nandalal Bose is a vivid insight into the personality of one of the intensely creative masters of our times. It brings together, perhaps for the first time, many facets of Nandalal Bose-The great artist between two covers. To the layman and the artist the book is sure to serve as an introduction to the art-heritage of the early part of our twentieth century in which Nandalal holds an important place.
