In 1943, artist Chittaprosad Bhattacharya (1915 - 1978) produced an extraordinary eyewitness account of the Bengal Famine in a portfolio of 22 stark black and white sketches. The book, called Hungry Bengal: A Tour Through Midnapur District, depicted images of acute impoverishment, that were unseen by the world. Chittaprosad’s artistic career began in the 1930s, as an illustrator and reporter for the Communist Party of India (CPI). He made propaganda posters, using Socialist tropes, celebrating the oppressed masses and caricatured politicians and colonizers. Chittaprosad Bhattacharya, a political artist and active supporter of the Communist Party of India, vividly captured the human cost of the famine. In November 1943, through his ink drawings and detailed annotations, he kept a log of his travels through famine-struck Midnapur, a district in India’s
present-day state of West Bengal.

Husain was associated with Indian modernism in the 1940s. Echoing his seminal 1960 canvas titled 'Farmer's Family', now in the collection of the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, here, an able-bodied farming family is depicted alongside their livestock and tools celebrating the harvest. His themes—sometimes treated in series—include topics as diverse as Mohandas K. Gandhi, Mother Teresa, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the British raj, and motifs of Indian urban and rural life. |
