Lot Footnotes
Somnath Hore, a pioneering Modernist and Bengali contemporary of the Bombay Progressive Artists' Group, was well-known for his bronze sculpture and political printmaking. Hore’s legacy extends far beyond his own artwork. He joined the printmaking department at the Art Department of Delhi Polytechnic (now Delhi Art College) in 1958. In 1969, he directed the graphic arts department at Santiniketan before retiring in 1983. He won the National Award for painting at the National Exhibition of Art in 1961. Hore passed away in 2006, and the following year was posthumously awarded the Padma Bhushan. In 2022, K. S. Radhakrishnan curated a centenary exhibition of his work, as did the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art with Birth of a White Rose, inspiring long overdue awe and appreciation in Hore’s profound and meaningful oeuvre.
