STYLE
shitindranath carried on the trend of revivalism that
Abanindranath started, with some deviations. His figures,
their idyllic settings and colours convey his own stylistic
talents. He was famous for his depiction of mythological
and religious subjects. Many of such works reveal his
extraordinary power of expression inspired by his personal
understanding of religious concepts of `Bhakti`.

1912-30 Art Teacher and Principal, Indian Society
of Oriental Art, Calcutta. 1942-64 Principal, Art Deptt.,
Allahabad University, Allahabad.
