Sunil Das - Untitled - 20.75 x 17.5 inches (unframed size) Oil on Canvas , 1997 ( ALL IN DOOR DELIVERED ROLLED ) The exceptions are the faces such as the profiles of bearded men in which the content is a mere excuse for the lines to create a pattern of untrammeled playfulness. Of course the Japanese face (Portrait) attempts a straight portrait but for the cartoonist exaggeration of the chin and cheek. Sunil Das ( 1939-2015) was a Master Modern Indian Artist from Bengal. Extremely successful right from his college days, Sunil Das has been extremely well lauded by art critics , the press , artists and the art and culture glitterati across the world.
