    Remarks: 53rd year, issue no. 42 of periodical. Though modern Indian art had its initial inspiration from the British colonizers, the newly set tradition was taken forward majorly by artists like Gaganendranath, Abanindranath, Nandalal, Ramkinkar etc. hailing from Bengal that was once considered as the cultural center of India. The self-same tradition was further developed in the later decades with artist participants becoming more and more individualistic. The present article discusses this particular trend that became so prominent during the decades of 1970s and 1980s.
