Dusk - Sailoz Mookherjea - Bengal School Art - Indian Painting - Large Art Prints
Sailoz Mookherjea (1907 - 1960) was born in Kolkata and studied at the Government School of Art. His use of a flowing line and Fauvist colour won him praise from Abanindranath Tagore and his works, Confession and Wind were chosen for an exhibition at the Salon De Mai, Paris and were exhibited alongside works by Picasso, Rouault and Leger.
Sailoz Mukherjee is amongst the nine artists considered to be National Art Treasures of India, in the company of the three Tagores (Abanindranath, Gaganendranath, Rabindranath), Ram Kinker Baij, Jamini Roy, Nicholas Roerich, Nandalal Bose and Amrita Sher-Gil.
The comparison between Sailoz Mookherjeea and Amrita Sher-Gil is appropriate. Both the artists have drawn their inspiration, not from the mere externals of our great masterpieces of the past... but from the spirit behind them. Both have painted the India throbbing around them. Sailoz who was one of the earliest (the 1940s -1950s) in marrying the medium of Oil on canvas and Indian art forms (inspired from Basholi miniatures).
