PARITOSH SEN
1918-2008, BangladeshOne of Indias most sought-after artists today, Paritosh Sen has come a long way since his days as one of the founding members of the Calcutta Group (1943-53). The group was made up of a sizeable gathering of young, avant-garde artists determined to break with the past, in order to explore the experimental processes that have led to some of the modern styles in the west. Following the ideals of the group, Paritosh was determined to produce art which took into account contemporary values, something which the orthodox schools fail to do. The Calcutta Group sought greater interaction with modern European art, as well as room for socio-political comment.
