        Hemendranath Mazumdar, 1894 - 1948 Untitled Hemendranath Mazumdar is best known for his classical academic oil paintings of women. Even though he lived and worked at a time when the British Academic tradition of oil painting had been sidelined in favor of the Bengal School revivalist style of painting as exemplified by the works of Abanindranath Tagore and his followers Mazumdar preferred to follow the style made famous in India by Raja Ravi Varma with a similar strong focus on classical idealised depictions of the female form. Like Ravi Varma he used the properties of oil paint to magically transform the canvas into a three-dimensional space that captured texture and depth on a flat surface. The tussle between the Bengal School and Western Academic painting at the turn of the century was often determined by the choices made by the principal of the Calcutta School of Art. The appointment of E.B. Havell as principal in 1894 gave tremendous support to the Bengal School tradition. However in 1909 he was replaced by an Englishman Percy Brown who again changed the focus of the curriculum to more academic training. This change of emphasis to academic naturalism allowed artists like Mazumdar to thrive. Although he is described as a self-taught artist he actually ran away from home to study at the Calcutta School of Art. He later moved on to the Jubilee Art Academy which further reinforced his academic approach to art. In the 1929 Illustrated Journal of Fine Arts Mazumdar wrote an article titled 'The Making of a Picture' in which he explains his painting techniques. He carefully followed the British academic technique as evidenced by his description: first producing preparatory sketches then more detailed pencil and wash studies prior to the final finely structured painting. Mazumdar painted portraits to make a living. Whilst these commissions provided a steady income he achieved both critical and commercial success for his semi-erotic images of scantily clad models. 'The subject of a rustic maiden returning home in a wet sari after her daily ablutions gave the artist scope to represent the models fleshy buttocks and rounded shoulders partially visible through her wet cloth... He lovingly delineated the rounded nape of the neck the fleshy contours of the shoulders the small of the back the concave of the spinal column the hips and buttocks. For all its clever suggestion of an arrested movement the work was carefully realised in the studio. In order to capture the particular pose he also used photographs.' (Partha Mitter The Triumph of Modernism: India's Artists and the Avant-Garde 1922 - 1947 New Delhi 2007 pp. 133-135.) These sensuous oils as seen in the current example as well became popular with several Maharajas at the time including the rulers of Jaipur Bikaner Kotah Kashmir Cooch Behar and other princely states. The Maharaja of Patiala Sir Bhupindranath Singh (1891 - 1938) even appointed Mazumdar 'Court Painter'. Signed 'H.Mazumdar' lower right

        HEMENDRANATH MAZUMDAR (1894 - 1948) Untitled Oil on canvas 48 1/8 x 24 1/8 in. (122.2 x 61.2 cm.) Signed 'H. MAZUMDAR' lower right The appointment of E.B. Havell as principal of the Calcutta School of Art in 1894 is often regarded as a decisive moment in the development of Modern Indian art, because of the support he gave to the revivalist style of painting exemplified by the works of Abanindranath Tagore and his followers. However, in 1909, when he retired he was replaced by an Englishman, Percy Brown who reintroduced naturalist drawing into the faculty curriculum. This change of emphasis allowed for the ongoing survival of academic naturalism in Bengal. The most prominent figure to become influenced by this change was Hemendranath Mazumdar. Although Mazumdar is frequently described as a self-taught artist, he actually ran away from home to study at the Calcutta School of Art. He later moved on to the Jubilee Art Academy, which further reinforced his academic approach to art that remained a dominant feature of his painting style. In 1921, Mazumdar and Bhabani Charan Law set up the Society of Fine Arts. Here they staged annual exhibitions with contributors from all over India. They also launched a new journal in which they published reproductions of their own works and articles criticising the Bengal school. Throughout his career, Mazumdar's ongoing focus was the female form. He painted portraits to make a living, but whilst such commissions provided a steady income, he also achieved both critical and commercial success with semi-erotic images of scantily clad models. 'The subject of a rustic maiden returning home in a wet sari after her daily ablutions, gave the artist scope to represent the models fleshy buttocks and rounded shoulders partially visiblethrough her wet cloth.... He lovingly delineated the rounded nape of the neck, the fleshy contours of the shoulders, the small of the back, the concave of the spinal column, the hips and buttocks. For all its clever suggestion of an arrested movement, the work was carefully realised in the studio. In order to capture the particular pose he also used photographs.' (Partha Mitter, The Triumph of Modernism: India's Artists and the Avant-Garde, 1922-1947, New Delhi, 2007, pp.133-35.) These sensuous oils with their discreetly erotic subjects became popular with several Maharajas at the time including the maharajas of Jaipur, Bikaner, Kotah, Kashmir, Cooch, Behar, Patiala and other princely states, the Maharaja of Patiala, Sir Bhupindranth Singh (1891-1938) even appointed Mazumdar 'Court Painter'.
