Untitled (Birds on a Grassy Knoll)
View through Harvard Museums
Two perching birds give scale and meaning to the dense and abstract mass of brush strokes beneath them, allowing it to be understood as a grassy hillock. This image was created during the last decade of Nandalal Bose’s life, when he depicted scenes from nature conjured from memory or imagination. Grass is suggested by a profusion of energetic dashes and hook-like marks, lightly touched by green pastel.
