Today, May 28, is the 48th death anniversary of Shilpacharya Zainul Abedin

Today, May 28, is the 48th death anniversary of Shilpacharya Zainul Abedin. He is a bright star in the history of Bengali painting. His 1943 famine sketches, deep respect for folk heritage, and active participation of his artistic persona in the country's struggle for independence—all together have made him a symbol of the Bengali conscience. He laid the foundation of art education by establishing the Dhaka Institute of Fine Arts (now the Faculty of Fine Arts). Not only art, but he was also the bearer of a humane perspective. On the death anniversary of this great artist, we remember his work and ideals with reverence. He lives forever in the colors, lines, and hearts of Bengal. Homage to Shilpacharya Zainul Abedin.
