THE PAINTINGS of Acharya Kshitindra Nath Mazumdar are matchless in style. They vividly express inner feelings. In his paintings the spiritual form of art is also clearly visible.
These observations were made by renowned artist Prof Ram Chandra Shukla at a function organised on the occasion of 115th birth anniversary of Kalaguru Kshitindra Nath Mazumdar at Allahabad University Delegacy Hall on Monday.
While painting, Mazumdar used to get so much surcharged with emotions that he would start dancing and singing and make people laugh, Prof Shukla said. He often told his disciples not to make art the medium of livelihood. Instead, bring awareness in people about the significance of art, he would say.
Presiding over the programme Justice Sudhir Narain Agrawal said he felt proud to be a disciple of Mazumdar. He recalled many incidents related to him. Justice Agrawal advised the new generation of artists to undertake art work for the sake of art to fulfill the dreams of Mazumdar.
Head of the Fine Arts Department of Allahabad University, Dr RK Vishwakarma said that Mazumdar’s portraits were full of religious feelings.
Noted artist Dr Shaym Bihari Agrawal said that Mazumdar was a simple and egoless personality. The seeds of art sown by him were now blooming, he said.
