INTRODUCTION

The landscape painting is extremely intriguing despite the fact that it has no precise history. In Egyptian tombs and Rome there are divider paintings which can be classified as landscape paintings since they speak to rocks, plants and trees in their natural form. We may say that landscape painting in Europe was an unconventional development of the renaissance. The landscape components were continuously permitted to overwhelming the episode displayed in a painting. In his initial profession he typically painted the landscapes in wash method. His landscapes are additionally altogether different in the portrayal of the scene for the most part empty from human nearness. Gaganendranath utilized the oriental methodology as a part of the delineation of wide edge perspective of subject in verging on repetitive or stifled colors. His landscapes 'The Blue Mountain' (Fig.1) the 'Gauri Shankar' (Fig.2) are exceptionally noteworthy in this connection. In this period Gaganendranath Tagore was exceedingly motivated from the landscape paintings of J.M.W. Turner and J.M. Whistler. His paintings 'Sun over the Sea' (Fig.3), ‗Storm ahead in Padma' (Fig.4), The Bridge (Fig.5) demonstrates his enthusiasm to play with light in the photo space. Be that as it may, his methodology was not genuinely impressionists. "This is particularly found in certain exceptionally Orientalizing landscapes where it is not impressionistic space but rather the oriental

boundlessness and unendingness of the space is evoked"

Gaganendranath Tagore was testing separate from the revivalism in Bengal and making parallel yet autonomous feel which joined contemporary European artistic advancements. "Regardless of his families nearby relationship with revivalism, Gaganendranath kept outside the pale of parochial universality of modern Indian art. He remained a free painter all through, free from fixation of numerous types oriental or occidental." Gaganendranath Tagore took after his own motivations, openly reacting to artistic impacts from all headings, including from the ridiculed West, and portraying the lip services of the general public around him. "Modern art was seen to have landed in India with Gaganendranath and Rabindranath Tagore. The Definition of modernism in the circle of Indian art, in particular, has tended to concentrate on the issue of cosmopolitanism, progressive advancements and open-ness to the contemporary European improvements. Absolutely the European Cubist and Futurists developments set the connection for Gaganendranath tests with the comparable development and fragmenting of forms." He has been called as a painter of the modern illustrations.

After independence many Indian artists went to Europe and America. Ram Kumar and S.H. Raza went to Paris, Satish Gujral went to Mexico, F.N. Souza and S.K. Bakre left India for London. The need of the young artists to keep in step with the new currents in visual art was completely justified and expected. India was now an independent state. This need was also gradually recognized by the State as one of the aims of state cultural policy, so that it served the broader pursuits and interests of an independent state. Indian artists were influenced by doctrine and technique prevalent in the western art. Changes in the economic environment and socio-political advancement had its influence on the Indian artistic scene. Artist came to know that a section of viewers and artists have been inspired by the display of colors in the place of representational human figures and its sophistication. In this period none of the artist practiced abstraction in the full length and discourse. Some Indian artists stylized Indian tradition with the norms of western modernism and many other significant artists turned towards the early twentieth century developments in abstraction for their inspiration. The birth of modern Indian art and the abstract forms could be attributed to several social and

which was well brought out by many artists of this period. Other eminent artists turned towards the mid twentieth century improvements in abstraction for their motivation. The introduction of modern Indian art and the abstract forms could be ascribed to a few social and environmental conditions that the nation persisted and which were well brought out by many artists of this period.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

Ram Kumar: Ram Kumar profession before he universalized tine subject and achieved the ground period of his splendidly colored abstract landscape. His late landscape contrast from past landscape. He portrayed man and nature (the music they redicate flowters the fogs, the mountains, the rocks and so on) in his landscapes. He is especially affected by the 'Writer of nature' William world worth. Ram Kumar has truly come to the top of abstraction which can be just increased after the aggregate development in the field of art. He has given another swing to the art of landscape.

Ram Kumar's works of the 2000's are not generally naturalistic propagations of nature and the encompassing landscape, or maybe, they show up much more abstracted both in idea and execution. The outcome is a work that joins images from his visual databank with his very own recollections and encounters. It is the ideal equalization of these two components that makes his work unmistakable.

He makes full utilization of the dim, pink pale, yellow and blue accessible in pastels. He delineated fights, books and different strokes in exchange of still life. His renowned landscape painting is "STONE OF THE WALL". No human figure is available in these landscapes as though the human being will destruct them.
