  BANGLAPEDIA: Zainul Abedin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Zainul's works after his return from London showed the beginning of a new style a 'Bengali' style, so to say where folk forms with their geometric, sometimes semi-abstract representations, the use of primary colours and a lack of perspective were prominent features.
Zainul's idea of modernism was not confined to merely abstracted, non-representational styles, but to a deeper understanding of the term 'modernity' itself in which social progress and individual dynamism are two leading components.
Zainul, of course, painted nature and the human scene (including the private moments of village women), but his predilections for speed, movement and an interactive space are evident in the paintings of late sixties and seventies.
