Inspiration
The beloved rhino is absolutely stolid and the best. All qualities that make my beloved absolutely exasperating: calm, imperturbable, stoic, humorless, inscrutable, detached and taciturn.. but still the beloved rhino is adorable as it is.
This block print is inspired by every Bengali’s first text book of stories and poems called ‘Shahaj Path’. These books have a wonderful compilation of images all done by linoleum block prints by artist Nandalal Bose.
