About the Artist

Prokash Karmakar (1933 – 2014) was a preeminent artist from Kolkata, West Bengal. Karmakar is best known for his landscapes and nudes, which are generally painted in vibrant colors with bold lines and intricate textures. His paintings reflect his perception and interpretation of nature (both orderly and chaotic), life (both rural and urban), and form (from soft to sharp), without reference to religion.
