        Acknowledged as one of India’s most famous sculptors, Roy Choudhury’s work was inspired not only by the likes of Sankho Chaudhuri and Prodosh Dasgupta, but also by western greats like Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore and Auguste Rodin. In 1962, Roy Choudhury was awarded a scholarship by the Italian Government to study sculpture at the Academia de Belle Arti in Florence. It was in this center of artistic production that he met both Giacometti and Moore, whose influence on his body of work is evident. Roy Choudhury’s work was shown at the Paris Biennale in 1965, and in the same year, at a solo exhibition in New York. In his works from this period, Roy Choudhury explored the female figure, creating semi-abstract sculptures that represented a unique mix of the academic realism of the East and the more innovative cubism and abstraction of the West. The artist was creating form out of the human figure, alluding only slightly to its physical shape, focusing rather on the suggestion of the body, the semblance of a being. In his sculpture, he visualized the human figure as an intimate object, free of narration and external reality, meant o manifest only the artist’s sensibility, echoing the early modernist tradition of using the figure as an autonomous, non-narrative embodiment of expressive and symbolic content.

        Toe Point Signed, inscribed and dated 'Edition 5/5 P. Das Gupta 1950' Bronze 121/2 in. (31.8 cm.) high LITERATURE Prodosh Das Gupta, 'The Calcutta Group - Its Aims and Achievements', Lalit Kala Contemporary 31, New Delhi, 1982. NOTES 'Prodosh distorted figures and made them massive and voluminous, giving [them] a clear and strong three-dimensional identity. In the late 1940's he entered a new phase with the concept of 'organism' and distinguished himself as an original sculptor. The traditional way of clay modeling was revived but skilfully amended to suit modern expression. The figures are rendered emphasizing the rhythm of volume rather than following the realistic anatomy of the human body. The forms are accentuated by pushing forces and finds antecedents in Indian traditional sculpture.' (J.J. Narzary, 'Modern Indian Sculpture: A Brief History', Lalit Kala Contemporary 41, New Delhi, 1986, p.10.).
