Koikoi

The founder of the Bengal School, Abanindranath Tagore turned to an innate Indian aesthetic in his art even as he incorporated Oriental influences that allowed him to experiment and create works with tremendous visual appeal and historical value. Koikoi represents Tagore’s inimitable style of creating works that boast of technical finesse, a strong visual idiom wherein he successfully shows the emotional quotient of the subjects—in this case an adult and a child, the latter revealing a sweet buck-teeth smile.
