Ghosh is continuing the trend set by his predecessors of the Indian Style
painting of the Bengal School - a trend started by Shri Abanindranath Tagore and
further promoted and developed by artists like Nandalal Bose, Kshitendranath
Majumdar, Asit Haldar, Abdur Rehman Chughtai, Benode Behari Mukherjee and

charismatic glow of the innovators of the new Indian Style.

of colours indicated his unique conceptual approach and modulation of inherited
skills to the development of a visual language that is definitely modern despite
being anchored in tradition.
