Born in Kishoreganj, his career spanned a transformative era in Bengal\u2019s history, during which he consistently used his brush to document human struggle, dignity, and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abedin first gained international recognition with his iconic <strong>\u201cFamine Sketches\u201d (1943)<\/strong>, a haunting portrayal of Bengal\u2019s famine victims rendered in stark lines and raw emotion. These sketches marked him as an artist deeply engaged with social realities, using art as testimony and conscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His later work <strong>\u201cManpura \u201970\u201d<\/strong> revisits this humanitarian commitment, depicting the devastating cyclone and famine that struck coastal Bangladesh in 1970. With bold strokes and a restrained palette, the artwork captures the anguish and vulnerability of a people facing both natural disaster and systemic neglect. It is not merely a record of tragedy but also a call for empathy, resilience, and collective responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Through such works, Abedin positioned art as a voice of the voiceless, a bridge between aesthetics and activism. His legacy continues to inspire, reminding us of the power of art to confront suffering and affirm humanity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1566\" height=\"1211\" src=\"https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zainul.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zainul.jpg 1566w, https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zainul-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zainul-1024x792.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zainul-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zainul-1536x1188.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zainul-1200x928.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1566px) 100vw, 1566px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-normal-font-size\"><strong><em>Monpura 70 sheries<\/em><br><\/strong>1970 AD\/Size : 120cm X 96cm<br>Media : Ink, Pastal, Cartese Paper<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"408\" height=\"970\" src=\"https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Kamrul.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1061\" style=\"width:256px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Kamrul.jpg 408w, https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Kamrul-126x300.jpg 126w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-normal-font-size\"><strong><em>Mother and Child<\/em>      <\/strong>                                                               1960 AD                                                                          Size : 48cm X 91cm<br>Media : Color pencil on Cartes paper<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"231\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/museum.cu.ac.bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/HassanQuamrul1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3262\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Kamrul Hasan (1921\u20131988)<\/strong> is celebrated as one of the foremost modern artists of Bangladesh, whose works embody the nation\u2019s cultural identity and spirit.

Hasan\u2019s works often reflected themes of humanity, nationalism, and the everyday lives of ordinary people. Beyond his canvas, he was also a cultural activist\u2014closely involved in the Language Movement and the Liberation War\u2014using art as a tool of protest and resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The artwork <strong>\u201cMother and Child\u201d<\/strong> epitomizes his ability to portray universal emotions through a uniquely Bengali lens.

Bashir (1932\u20132020)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murtaja Bashir was a distinguished Bangladeshi painter, sculptor, writer, researcher, and activist of the Language Movement. Born on August 17, 1932, in Dhaka\u2019s Ramna area, he was the son of renowned linguist Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah and Murguba Khatun. Despite social and family challenges, he devoted himself to art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He began formal training in 1949 at the newly founded Government Institute of Fine Arts, Dhaka, graduating in 1954 with first division. He later studied at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence (1956\u201358), where he held his first solo exhibition, and at art schools in Paris (1971\u201373), specializing in painting, fresco, mosaic, and printmaking. In 1958, he co-founded the artist group <em>Movimento Primordio<\/em> in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond art, Bashir was a committed activist. During the 1952 Language Movement, he helped transport the wounded to hospitals and raised the black flag at Kala Bhavan the next day. His linocut <em>Bloody 21st<\/em> became the first visual record of the movement. In 1971, on the eve of Bangladesh\u2019s Liberation War, he rejected state titles conferred by Pakistan and actively supported the independence movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bashir pioneered \u201cAbstract Realism\u201d in Bangladesh. His notable series include <em>Transparency<\/em>, <em>Deyal<\/em>, <em>Shaheed Title<\/em>, <em>Jyoti<\/em>, <em>Kalema Tayeba<\/em>, <em>Cantos<\/em>, and <em>Pakha<\/em>. His murals, such as <em>Money Development<\/em> (Bangladesh Bank, 1968) and <em>Akshay Bot<\/em> (Rajshahi University, 1974), remain landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside painting, he wrote novels, poetry, and research works, including studies on pre-Mughal coinage that earned international recognition.

Born in 1942 in Sylhet, he displayed a natural talent for drawing and creativity from childhood. Though his family envisioned a religious path for him, Khalid pursued art, graduating from Dhaka Art College (now the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka) in 1969. He later joined the Liberation War of Bangladesh, actively contributing to the nation\u2019s struggle for independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khalid\u2019s most iconic creation is <em>Aparajeyo Bangla<\/em> (Invincible Bengal), installed in front of Dhaka University\u2019s Faculty of Fine Arts. This monumental sculpture stands as one of the strongest symbols of Bangladesh\u2019s Liberation War, embodying the courage and resilience of the freedom fighters. His other notable works include the Shaheed Minar at the University of Chittagong, the <em>Ankur<\/em> monument at Square Pharmaceuticals, the mural <em>Obahoman Bangla<\/em> at Bangladesh Television, the <em>Ongikar<\/em> Shaheed Minar in Chandpur, and sculptures such as <em>Eternal Bengal<\/em>, <em>Dolphin<\/em>, and <em>Mother and Child<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over his career, Khalid held solo exhibitions and received the First Prize at the 1983 National Sculpture Exhibition organized by the Shilpakala Academy. He represented Bangladesh at international art events, including leading the delegation to the 1987 SAARC Traditional Terracotta Workshop in India. His works are preserved in the Bangladesh National Museum, Shilpakala Academy, the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, and prominent private collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond his artistic practice, Khalid was an inspiring educator. He served for decades at the University of Chittagong\u2019s Institute of Fine Arts, where he retired as Professor of Sculpture in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recognition of his contributions, the government issued a commemorative stamp (1990\u201391) and a silver coin (1998) featuring <em>Aparajeyo Bangla<\/em>. He received the Shilpakala Padak in 2014 and the Ekushey Padak posthumously in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Syed Abdullah Khalid passed away on 20 May 2017.
