Zainul Abedin
Zainul Abedin (29 December 1914 – 28 May 1976) was a Bengali painter. He got the breakthrough in 1944 with his Famine Series paintings of 1943. After partition he moved to Pakistan; and finally when Bangladesh was created in 1971, he was rightly considered by Syed Manzoorul Islam as the founding father of Bangladeshi modern art. In 1948 he helped establish the Institute of Arts and Crafts (now Faculty of Fine Arts) at Dhaka University. The Indian Express described him as a Legendary Bangladeshi painter. Like many of his contemporaries, his paintings on the Bengal famine of 1943 is probably his most characteristic work. He was given the title Shilpacharya (Great Teacher of the Arts) in Bangladesh for his artistic and visionary qualities.
Bangladesh Liberation war, 1971
Zainul Abedin was the pioneer of painting in Bangladesh in modern time. His series of paintings on the Bengal famine of 1943 brought him India wide fame. These paintings were a spontaneous, sympathetic and bold depiction of a pathetic human tragedy and drew the attention of art lovers abroad. His famine sketches done in mere black lines of the brush using very little pigment and measured space were gradually turned into a technique of his own. In due course, his very well-known works like 'Bidrahi', 'Moi Deya', 'Santal Jugal' and 'Samgram' were done in the same technique. Zainul Abedin also did some paintings applying geometric synthesis to motifs of folk art such as 'Painyar Ma', 'Prosadhan' and 'Guntana'. His scroll painting 'Nabanna' done in the background of the mass movement of 1969 and the scroll painting 'Monpura 70' done in the background of the cyclone of 1970 depicting the utter helplessness of the devastated people are two of his more well-known paintings.
