Why Gaganendra Nath was called the father of Bengali cartoon pictures ?
Answers
Answer:
The sources for Gaganendranath's caricatures were his own responses to Bengali society of his generation. But there are precedents by social reformers exposed to western education as well as well as writers of plays to be performed on stage i.e. farces for theatre.
Explanation:
These apart, we have also included three visuals of outstanding importance. One is a portrait of Gaganendranath done in pencil by Jyotirindranath Tagore and the other is the image of a seal, used by GNT on many of his pictures. The third being a rare cartoon by Abanindranath Tagore, possibly done in 1928.
Answer:
The Singal coloured for bi-coloured cartoons mirrored the Bengali Society of that time. It was not just in Bengal, but the importance of Indian cartoons increased manifold under Gaganendranath. Hence, he is often called the father of modern nationalist Bengali cartoons.
