Gobardhan Ash (5 August 1907 - 22 December 1996) was an Indian artist and an early modernist as per the art critic Sovom Som[1][2]. Ebrahim Alkazi [3] states that "Gobardhan wielded considerable influence as an artist in the 1940's". He co-founded the Rebel Artists's Center in the 1930's[4] and was a member of the Calcutta Group. He was mentored by and close to the artist Atul Bose.[5]
Education
Gobardhan Ash had initially joined the Government College of Art, Kolkata as a student in 1926, but due to the differences in the teaching methods and an open skirmish with the then principal Mukul Dey which ultimately led to the formation of the Rebel Artists Center. He subsequently studied under Devi Prasad Roy Chowdhury at the Government Art School in Madras.[6]
