Father and Son

An exhibition of works by Bireswar Sen and Sureshwar Sen
From the Private Collection of Prithviswar Sen and Sarbani Ghosh

Conceptualised by the late Prof. B. N. Goswamy
Curatorial Team: Ella Datta; Pradip Kumar Datta; Aparna Nambiar; and Prithviswar Sen

Conceptualised in January 2023 by Prof. Goswamy, the exhibition can be viewed in several ways. As a striking generational shift; as the exploration of the remarkable fusion of multiple cultures of painting drawn from different parts of the globe; of the efflorescence and hybridity on modern Indian art traditions that has its locus in Lucknow (the home of both painters) – but draws on many centres. These range from the Bengal School of Jorasankho (Bireswar Sen’s training ground with the Tagores) as well as Santiniketan (where Sureshwar Sen trained and worked in the company of Ramkinkar and Benode Behari, under the tutelage of Nandalal)
