- Tagore, along with others like E.B. Havell, established the 'Indian Society of Oriental Art' in 1907.
- The society aimed to promote Indian art traditions.
- The journal published by the Society served as a platform to showcase and discuss Indian art, reflecting Tagore's vision and artistic philosophy.
- Therefore, Abanindranath Tagore is considered the main artist and creator connected to the journal's inception and its underlying artistic mission.
Analysis of Options
- E.B. Havell was a significant supporter and collaborator, but Tagore was the central artistic figure.
- Nandlal Bose was a student of Tagore and a major artist in his own right, but Tagore preceded him as the foundational artist of the Society.
