Sukumar Bose

Sukumar Bose (12 May 1912 – 10 November 1986) was an Indian artist based in Delhi who was trained in the tradition of the Bengal School under Asit Kumar Haldar.

Bose, along with his predecessors including Sarada Ukil, has been credited for introducing the Bengal School art tradition and style to North India.

He was a pioneer member of the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society (AIFACS), the precursor to what is today's state-run Lalit Kala Academy.

As an active member of the AIFACS, he was involved in the publication of Roopa Lekha, a bi-annual art journal.

As a result of his art education, Bose was more of a traditionalist, preferring realism over the more abstract styles of interpretation.
