Eminent painter Dhirendranath Brahma, best known for his Bengal School of Art works, passed away on Wednesday following age-related illness.
He was admitted to the government-run SSKM hospital for the last few days and died during the day, the family said. Born in 1924 at Barisal in Bangladesh, Mr. Brahma had studied in Kolkata where he also had the opportunity to work under the likes of Nandalal Bose and Lakshmeshwar Singha at Santiniketan.
His mural paintings now grace the walls of Parliament in New Delhi. -PTI
