A Mosque at Kharagpur - Monghyr
Mukul DeyIndian, 1895 - 1989
Mukul Dey was one among a group of pioneering Bengali artists who worked to forge a modern and distinctly Indian artistic mode in the twentieth century. Although he looked beyond India for training, having traveled to Japan and the United States in 1916 to study printmaking, Dey chose to depict subjects inspired by his home region. Shortly after returning from his sojourns abroad, he visited the town of Kharagpur in Monghyr District (modern Munger), Bihar, where he sketched this seventeenth-century mosque.
