Portrait of Rabindranath Tagore by Mukul Dey


Portrait of Abanindranath Tagore by Mukul Dey

An early student of Rabindranath Tagore's Santiniketan School, pioneer Indian graphic artist Mukul Dey was one of the most important practitioner of drypoint-etching and engraving, active in Bengal from second decade of the last century till his death in 1989. Mukul Dey is also remembered for his pioneer copies of fresco paintings at Ajanta, Bagh, Sittanavasal and Sigiriya Rock.
His photo-documentations of Bengal Terracotta Temples remain unparalleled even today for their quality and ornamental details.

A huge body of work is left behind by Mukul Dey as a result of his interactions with a world-wide cross section of important people, both in the East and the West, spanning about 70 years.
