UNDERSTANDING SCULPTURAL GROWTH DURING BRITISH REGIME AND DECOLONIZATION THROUGH NATIONALISM

Abstract [English]

Cave paintings and sculptures uncovered from prehistoric eras often represented human, mythological, ornately adorned animal, and other animal forms. Other animal species were also occasionally shown. Artists who contributed to the creation and distribution of concepts connected with Indian modernism were shaped by the most famous art institute and its teaching staff. This institute was responsible for moulding the artists who contributed. These art schools and centres stood in stark contrast to the royal art tradition practised in India's most important kingdoms. Not only was the old method of teaching art considerably different from how it was being taught now, but the activities that were being taught were also pretty different. The role that Calcutta played in the formation of contemporary art in India. This is necessary in order to understand the role that Calcutta played in the formation of contemporary art in India. There is considerable doubt that the majority of these centres originated in India's more recent cities such as New Delhi, Baroda, Chennai, Lahore, Nagpur, and Indore, amongst others, where there were essentially no pre existing artistic vocabulary to speak of. They rapidly developed into centres of artistic activity, complete with thriving communities of artists, patrons, galleries, prize-giving organisations, and educational institutions, thereby creating an ecosystem that fostered the art form and encouraged its dissemination. These centres of artistic activity are now known as cultural nexuses.
