About the Art form
Kalighat painting, an entirely distinct genre of Indian painting that emerged in the 19th century in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), West Bengal, is characterized by its vibrant colours and sharp contours.
The portrayal of gods and other mythical people in these paintings evolved over time to reflect a variety of topics. These mediocre pieces of art were created by Kalighat patuas (painters) to make a living by selling to a large audience.
As Kolkata grew into a bustling and successful industrial port city, migrants began to arrive in search of better prospects. Among them were numerous artists, crafters, and painters from across India, including patuas, members of a West Bengal artisan community. With its regular swarms of pilgrims, Kalighat would have been an ideal location for local artists to create and sell modest, inexpensive religious gifts.
The patuas abandoned their linear, narrative style in favour of single drawings containing one or two individuals, influenced by the various art styles surrounding them and with a desire to produce swiftly. The backgrounds were left plain, all non-essential elements were deleted, and basic colour combinations were chosen. The arrival of cheaper prepared paints and mill-made paper from Britain additionally contributed to patua productivity.
