Gopal Ghose (5 December 1913 – 30 July 1980) was an Indian painter from West Bengal.
After obtaining a diploma in painting from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Jaipur in 1935, he trained in sculpture at the Government College of Art and Crafts, Chennai in 1938, where he studied under Debi Prasad Roy Choudhuri.
[1] Initially influenced by the Bengal School, Ghose was drawn to the pictorial vocabulary developed by European Expressionists and Cubists to depict nature.
Ghose reworked the genre of landscape painting, investing it with expressionistic qualities.
Ghose taught at the Indian Society of Oriental Art, in Kolkata from 1940 to 1945 and then joined the faculty of the Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur (then affiliated with the University of Calcutta), where he taught architectural drawing.
