Career[edit | edit source]
Sailoz Mookherjea's simplification of form and vibrancy were derived from his years in Europe and inspiration from works of Matisse, but his main influences were folk art and Basohli miniatures. He focused on themes such as oneness with nature and rural serenity. His line were bold and color technique powerful.[4]
During his time in New Delhi in the 1940s and 50s, he meet frequently with other painters of the Bengal school of art, especially with Manishi Dey and Shantanu Ukil.
He was highly regarded by both artists like Jagdish Swaminathan and critics like Richard Bartholomew who had the following to say about him ...
There should have been a monument dedicated to Sailoz in the middle of Connaught place instead of an ugly fountain[5]
There is not a single work of Amrita Sher-Gil which can stand before his painting Washing Day[5]
The reason he has not gotten the recognition – is that he lacks in pretentiousness[5]
For after Amrita Sher-Gil .. – He has been our most significant painter[5]
