Watering Contrivance - Haren Das - Bengal School Art Woodcut Painting - Art Prints
A master printmaker, Harendra Narayan Das, better known as Haren Das, was a highly respected artist in India who worked almost exclusively in printmaking mediums.
At a time when oil painting ruled consciousness and prints were considered inferior, Das chose to work solely with printmaking. Das’ prints are both technically and artistically superior. A dexterously crafted equilibrium of black and white, at times washed with thin layers of colour, detailed renditions of objects and elements, simplicity of composition and petite format are all characteristic features of his prints, whether in wood engraving, etching, dry point or linocut.
Haren Das’ prolific wood engravings and woodcuts capture detailed vignettes from rural Bengal life, portraying people’s everyday life and labour.
