Abstract

Gaganendranath Tagore is widely regarded as the beginning of cubism in Colonial India. This paper will aim to detect Metaphysical art taste in Gaganendranath’s paintings and find the comparisons of the Giorgio de Chirico’s paintings. Gaganendranath was a unique artist who established a very distinct style with recognized aspects of Eastern and Western art. Gaganendranath Tagore established his own style of Cubism through many influences, but his political cartoons and social satires on Westernized Bengalis are what he is most known for. His fascination in the enigmatic play of light and shade, as well as patterns, may have sprung from his passion for photography. Cubism's central idea was to express one's experiences in terms of patterns that are frequently obscured by visual appearance.
