Jogen Chowdhury - Man Kneeling on the floor - 20 x 28 inches (unframed size) Dry Pastel on paper Inclusive of shipment in roll form. Kneeling Man takes a fresh look at tradition and Modernism , drawing freely upon ideas and values from native sources , solely guided by their need for self expression . This determined not only how they would paint but also what they would paint . A core subject in around which he would organise the perception of the worls within and without. The Kneeling Man is a perfect example of Chowdhury's mastery of lines and to make the curves depict the character of his figures.

Signed in Bengali Style : He has immense contribution in inspiring young artists of India. Jogen Chowdhury had developed his individual style after his return from Paris. His most famous paintings are in ink, watercolor and pastel. He has painted in oil medium as well. In Chowdhury’s more recent works the sensory experiences of cloth, bolsters, sofas and the human body are cross-projected to produce an uncanny world of tran-substantiated tumescence and flaccidness. Jogen Chowdhury has been widely acknowledged to be, the master of the unbroken line. Like Léger, Chowdhury has been stirred by the linear Kalighat pat tradition, but his lines are emotive and used to express and suggest the character of a person. This is done by, distorting the form without breaking the line and in the world of young, contemporary art; distortion has been Jogen Chowdhury’s most significant impact. Perhaps, because of this, a common observation of his work is that his “people” are caricatures. The person feels familiar to the viewer but it is far more individualised – the face is imaginary but the psyche or characteristics are real. The power and beauty of his technique and line is this play between the known and unknown. In Jogen Chowdhury’s work, the figure is always in the foreground, it is primary, it conveys everything. He uses colour to give volume to his figures and the fluidity of his lines bring a sensual aspect to his forms.
