The article spotlights an evocative exhibition curated by Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya that uncovers a hidden facet of Indian art history - the painted postcards of Bengal School artists. Titled 'Bengal School Painted Postcards', the show features delicate watercolor postcards exchanged between artists from the 1940s to the 1960s, reflecting both personal expression and artistic collaboration. Through his curation, Jyotirmoy not only brings to light these intimate, miniature artworks but also highlights the socio-economic challenges the artists faced during a transformative period in post-independence India. His work offers a fresh lens into the Bengal School’s ethos, emphasizing the personal narratives that traditional art history often overlooks.
