Artist Prodosh Das Gupta (1912 - 1991)

Prodosh Das Gupta was born in 1912 at Barakar, Dhaka (now in Bangladesh), died in 1991. He graduated from Calcutta University in 1932 and then went on to study sculpture at Lucknow School of Art and Crafts the same year. Then, from 1933 to 1937, he trained under Devi Prasad Roy Chowdhury at the Government School of Art and Craft, Chennai, and earned his diploma in sculpture from that institution. He was awarded a fellowship from Calcutta University, that paid for his travel to the Royal Academy of Arts in London and Academie de la Grande Chaumiere, Paris to hone his skills in sculpture and bronze casting, during 1937 to 1939. Prodosh Dasgupta was a crucial figure of that mid 20th century generation of artists in Bengal who were giving shape to a new vocabulary modernism in Indian art. His role was particularly important in defining a distinct place for modernism in Indian sculpture, in advocating the concept of form as an independent identity in sculpture, and in pioneering a style of semi-abstract three-dimensional figuration.
