On Nandalal Bose’s Ideas on Art [2]

In a letter to me, Nandalal wrote of love as “the only thing for Art”.

It is a way of speaking, I suppose, in accordance with his own experience. It is the creative Force which he calls Love — others might call it by another name because they see it in another aspect.
