Lalu Prasad Shaw Indian, b. 1937

Overview

"I am not an artist but a painter. I like to paint directly; so initially I look for the structure of a painting, then put up colors and in the last stage, I give the finishing touch."

- Lalu Prasad Shaw

Lalu Prasad Shaw was born in 1937 in Bengal. He received his education in fine arts from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Kolkata.
