Zainul Abedin is considered the founding father of Bangladeshi art. He was an artist of outstanding talent and earned international reputation. For his artistic and visionary qualities, he is referred to as Shilpacharya meaning ‘great teacher of art’ in Bangladesh. He was the first Principal of the first art school in Dhaka in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). He organized the Nabanna (harvest) exibition in 1969. The exhibition included a 65 feet long scroll portraying the rural East Pakistan in phases from abundance of poverty. This intensified the already heightened non-cooperation movement against the Pakistan regime. The exhibition was symbolic of the Bangalee artists protest and a milestone in our struggle for cultural and political freedom. Zainul’s dynamic style of work is Evident in a 30 feet long scroll painting called Manpura, which was done to commemorate the death of hundreds and thousands of people in the devastating cyclone of 1970.
He designed the pages of the constitution of Bangladesh. He founded the Folk Art Museum at Sonargaon, and also Zainul Abedin Shangrahashala, a gallery of his own works in Mymensingh in 1975.
The river Brahmaputra played a vital role in his paintings and was a source of inspiration all through his career. Much of his childhood was spent near the scenic river of Brahmaputra. A series of water colours that Zainul did as his tribute to the river earned him the Governor’s Gold Medal in an all India exhibition in 1938.This was the first time that he came into spotlight and this award gave him the confidence to create his own visual style. Zainul was born in Kishoregonj on 29 December 1914 and died in Dhaka on 28 May 1976.
