Sunil Madhav Sen (1910 - 1979)
Line Drawing with Wash
5.5 x 9 Inches
Signed Lower Centre
By the 1950s-60s, Sunil Madhav Sen had moved beyond portraiture and was drawing more freely, with a focus on line, rhythm, and surface. This work captures that shift. The animated, almost childlike figures reflect his lifelong engagement with folk traditions. Especially the handmade toys, scrolls, and clay animals of rural Bengal that shaped his early imagination in Bankura. At the same time, Sen was looking outward. He admired artists like Picasso, whose playful drawings of animals and mask-like forms offered new ways of seeing. This piece sits at the meeting point of folk memory and modernist reinvention, echoing the eclectic visual language that defined Sen’s later years.
