Binod Behari Mukherjee

Binod Behari Mukherjee, a pupil of Nandlal Bose, was one of the pioneers of Indian modern art. He was a painter and a celebrated muralist. He was one of the earliest artists in modern India to take up mural as a mode of artistic expression, and his murals display a subtle understanding of environmental and architectural nuances.

In 1972 filmmaker Satyajit Ray, who was also Mukherjee’s student, made a documentary film named “The Inner Eye” on him.
