Abanindranath Tagore (1871-1951) founded the Indian Society of Oriental Art. One of the first exponents of Swadeshi shilpakala, Tagore founded the Bengal School of Art, contributing immensely to the development of modern Indian painting. As a writer of juvenile literature, he was equally famous. He could paint images with words. As a result, in classics like Rajkahini, Buro Angla, Nalak, and Khirer Putul, his prose blended into pictures to create a remarkable confluence.
