Small Works, Great Vision: The Art of Bireswar Sen

The late landscape artist, Bireswar Sen (1897-1974) centred his creation on portraying the splendour of the Himalayas, although he approached it on a miniature scale. Sen studied under Abanindranath Tagore in Calcutta during the 1920s, where he learned the wash technique. It wasn't until he met the Russian artist Nicholas Roerich in 1932, that he discovered art's enormous ability to connect man with nature. Roerich's Himalayan landscapes were an epiphany. For the rest of his career, Sen strived to achieve harmony while perfecting his highly personal technique.

On display are a selection of original paintings from the collection of Prithviswar Sen and Sarbani Ghosh
