Based on DAG’s unrivalled holdings of the artist’s works that include paintings, sketches and notebooks, and drawing on fresh archival research, we are pleased to bring Flower of Fire: The Life & Art of Gopal Ghose, the first major career retrospective of the exemplary landscape artist and master colorist, Gopal Ghose, to Kolkata, in partnership with the Alipore Museum.

Please join us on the opening preview for a walkthrough of the exhibition. Covering his creative evolution and artistic trajectory from the 1930s to his final days, the exhibition is characterised by his excellent draughtsmanship to his socially relevant creations of the 1940s that lay emphasis on line, and culminating in his masterful landscapes that amply warrant his reputation as an exemplary landscapist and colourist, this retrospective underlines his life’s celebrations and struggles.
