His new style was a reaction against the Bengal School and Western tradition. His underlying quest was threefold : to capture the essence of simplicity embodied in the life of the folk people; to make art accessible to a wider section of people; and to give Indian art its own identity. He was awarded the Padma Bhusan in 1954.
