Paritosh Sen (Bengali: পরিতোষ সেন) (26 September 1918 – 22 October 2008[1]) was a leading Indian artist.
He was born in Dhaka (then known as Dacca), the present-day capital of Bangladesh.
Sen pursued his artistic training at the Academie Andre Lhote, the Academie la Grande Chaumiere, the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and the Ecole des Louvre in Paris.
Sen has exhibited widely both in India and abroad, including the Calcutta Group exhibition (1944), London (1962), São Paulo Biennale (1965), New Delhi Triennale (1968, 1971, 1975), Sweden (1984), and the Havana Biennale (1986).
In 1959/60, Sen published Zindabahar, a book of autobiographical sketches in which he memorialized the Dacca city of his childhood.
