Shilpa Prabandhabali by Manindra Bhushan Gupta

In the tradition of Indian indigenous art, the name Manindra Bhushan Gupta is undoubtedly marked by distinctiveness. Not only in the practice of painting, but Manindra Bhushan's artistic thought was also reflected in his teaching, art discussions, and the essays he wrote on art. Inspired by the artist-guru Abanindranath, Manindra Bhushan was imbued with the same spirit that once heralded the Bengal School of Art as a prominent movement in Indian art. His artworks have not only mesmerized art connoisseurs but his thoughtful art essays have also directed discerning readers toward a deeper appreciation of art. His book "Art in India and Abroad" has been a source of delight for artists, researchers, and art enthusiasts alike. This current book can be considered a significant addition to that legacy, being a unique compilation of his unpublished essays. In this collection, readers will find the artistic presentation of a connoisseur’s thoughts and intellect, skillfully expressed.
