STYLE
He began with fine but simplistic sketches of the
streets and towns of Bengal, he then excelled in water-
colours and subsequently in the oil medium. His ability
to conserve the transparency of all mediums at the most
luminous, and to work with swift, sure execution is
something appreciable.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
1963-77 Taught at Delhi College of Art, New Delhi.
