Hailing from a family with a rich background in arts and culture, Satyajit Ray’s knack for painting and art was something that came naturally and flawlessly. He was trained for three years as a student of Kalabhavan in Santiniketan under Nandalal Bose.
During the year 1943, the year of the great Bengal famine, Ray joined the advertising industry and became involved in book designing and typography for an enterprising new publishing house. The advertising world, later on, led him to the world of filmmaking where he spent 35 years.
Satyajit Ray always considered himself primarily as a filmmaker and secondarily as a writer and illustrator.
The exhibition will be held from 13th February 2022 to 14th March 2022 on the 1st floor at KCC from 11: 00 am to 6:00 pm. The show will be open to all.
