Artist: Arun Bose (Indian, 1934-2007)
Bose graduated from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Calcutta, in 1955. He taught at the city’s Indian College of Art from 1955 to ’62, where Bikash Bhattacharjee was one of his students. He next went to Paris for two years on a French government scholarship to study at École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, and Atelier 17, where Reddy was the associate director. Returning to Calcutta, he taught at his alma mater for three years.
In 1968, he went to the U.S. on a fellowship by the Pratt Graphics Centre, New York. At the same time, he also won the John D. Rockefeller III Fund grant to study there. He made New York his home and started teaching at its City University, where he set up one of the biggest departments of printmaking in the world.
