Paritosh Sen (b. Dhaka) was a founding member of the Calcutta Group and studied at the Government College of Arts and Crafts Chennai before furthering his education at the Ecole de Beaux-Arts in Paris. His work influenced by cubism and fauvism features strong lines bold strokes and a mastery of two-dimensional planes that create an illusion of voluptuousness. Sen often focused on the human figure capturing scenes from urban life. His vibrant use of color brings depth and energy particularly in his depictions of children engaged in playful activities as seen in this lot.
