In 1917, at the age of eight years, Manishi Dey's father died and he was sent to the Santiniketan school [[Patha Bhavana]], which was founded by the Nobel Prize-winning poet [[Rabindranath Tagore]]. He seemed to dislike the preparatory conventions of Santiniketan and became mutinous. His education changed favourably when he came in contact with [[Abanindranath Tagore]]’s Bengal School of Art, the nephew of Rabindranath Tagore. He became one of the most versatile students of Abanindranath, whose other close students also included [[Nandalal Bose]], [[Asit Kumar Haldar]], [[Sarada Ukil]], [[Mukul Dey]], [[K. Venkatappa]] and [[Jamini Roy]]. These were the leading artists that spread the form and spirit of the neo-Bengal school throughout India. | He was born in [[Dhaka]], [[Bengal Presidency]].

The political and religious developments in the Indian subcontinent were a major influence during the life of Manishi Dey. Just shortly before his birth, Bengal was partitioned into an Eastern and Western part, known as the [[Partition of Bengal (1905)]]. The area was divided a second time in 1947, known as the [[Partition of Bengal (1947)]]. It was only after the death of Manishi Dey that Bengal became an independent country in 1971 after the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]]. These political changes during the colonization and decolonization of India were a major influence on the education of Dey. Abanindranath Tagore promoted traditional Indian culture in his teachings, which built the foundation for the artistic works of Manishi Dey throughout his life. | The political and religious developments in the Indian subcontinent were a major influence during the life of Manishi Dey.
