Xu Beihong
Santiniketan has nine original ink brush works of Xu Beihong, one of the pioneers of Chinese modern art, all painted during the artists visit to Santiniketan in 1939-40. He had stayed in Tan Yun-Shan’s old house near Cheena Bhavana. In August 2019, his son, Xufangfang, who had come on a follow up visit, said that he received inspiration from the creative environment at Visva Bharati.
