Note
Ganesh Haloi was born in 1936 in East Bengal, now, Bangladesh. After the partition in 1950, he migrated to Kolkata. There he graduated from Government College of Art craft in 1956 and joined Archaeological Survey of India as a Senior Artist. Haloi was soon deputed in 1957 to document the art of Ajanta caves, which he continued till 1963. Then he joined Art College, Kolkata as a lecturer in 1964. His art has evolved through a series of transactions from pure landscape to the innerscapes. But most importantly Haloi's body of art works delve with the trauma of the uprooting after the partition, as it did on some other painters of his generation.
