Explanation
Abanindranath Tagore is considered the father of the Bengal School of Art. His work is classified as revivalistic because he rejected the Western academic style and materialism of oil painting that was dominant during the British Raj. Instead, he sought to revive and modernize traditional Indian artistic traditions, drawing inspiration from Ajanta murals, Mughal and Rajput miniatures, and Japanese wash techniques. This movement aimed to create a distinct Indian modernism rooted in indigenous spiritual and cultural values.
