Question
Why do you think some artists wanted to develop national style of art?
Solution
Some artists wanted to develop a national style of art because they had rejected the art of Ravi Varma as imitative and westernised. According to them, it was unsuitable for depicting the nation’s ancient myths and legends.
They felt the need for a genuine Indian style of painting to draw inspiration from non-western art traditions, and try to capture the real spiritual essence of the East.
