The changing palette in Bengal Post 1960s

Post-1960s modernist art practices in Bengal were increasingly marked by subjective concerns that worked through political consciousness, engagement with social issues, as well as a concern for defining identity especially with a regional focus. Thoughvisual art had traditionally shared a close proximity with Bengali literature especially poetry  and theatre, the new generation artists of the mid-1960s and the 1970s focused on subjectivity and the immediate social surroundings than on following Western models.
