Making ‘wounds’, pain, and suffering, the theme of his artistic practice that included lithographs, woodcuts, drawings, and paintings, Somnath Hore, among the finest printmakers of Indian modern art, created a path for viewers to understand the result of human trauma from a visual standpoint. Hore’s lifelong artistic experiments, particularly in the wake of the Bengal famine, Partition, and the turbulence caused by communism in his native Bengal, have served to document the plight and suffering of ordinary people.
