A small exhibit of paintings
and images of paintings by award winning Indian artist and art teacher, Karuna Chak, will be on display
at BERA-IAA Diwali function on November 17, 2007 at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
The emergence of modern
Indian painting was part of an intellectual movement for freedom. India's painters expressed it in the art technique of water
color wash painting most beautifully rendered by the Bengal School artists Asit Haldar and Abanindra Nath. Born in 1929, Karuna Chak, the last of this genre of painters, continues to
paint and will be present at the function. A retrospective of her work was
displayed at Museum
of Natural History, New York in 1997.
Bio info on Karuna Chak, along with a sample
of her art work, is available at: www.geocities.com/karuna_chak
