Ganesh Pyne was initially influenced by Abindranath and Gagendranath Tagore, of the Bengal school, and is well regarded for his meticulous draughtsmanship and delicate handling of pigment. His early career was characterized by aesthetically pleasing watercolors; over time, however, his style evolved away from that towards a more modernist approach. One of a kind artwork.
