To counteract the anestina olece mentioned
earlier, was Qamrul Hasan Nature and such entries, which delighted the eye and idolized the boats, skies and simple tress — which we often take for granted and foil to ponder over and lake pleasure In
Hamid uzzaman Khans
Composition 1 ' was an Interesting abstraction of careful and simplified lines and squiggles, which left one mystified and yet agog with wonder as to what the images could possibly symbolise.
There was Mustafa Monwar's Nai ure' with its dark
sky and pale huts In the forefront, with trees In Ihe centre and more strokes to balance the composition of the creation. The entree by Debdas Chakraborty was even more interesting and delineated a true image of the poverty and struggle tn the environment In the country. The confident and deft strokes, the pale colours, blended with the dark, brought out the theme with an Impact.
"Winter Morning'" by Samjit Roy Chowdhury was an interesting combination of semi-abstract figures, which had been delineated with precise splashes, circles and balancing squares The hues were blended "well. The combining of the light and dark colours had been presented with dexterity and ingenuity.
Shamsul Islam Nizamis "to force to go" remained a creation in dark hues with abstractions and ambiguity to capture the imagination of the viewer. "Thirst" by Quazi Hasan Habib had the image of a dark inverted goblet, done in an Impressionistic manner, with figures of flying birds, with outspread wings .and portraits of men and women in the forefront. The base of the goblet, placed on the top of the piece could have been taken for forest and foliage
"Nature-1 by Joabul Islam was a colourful and tranquil composition with leaves, flower buds and butterflies, along with ferns and stems The strokes were delicately done and would have soothed any disenchanted mind. The colours, light dark and a pale In between, were cleverly thought out and composed
Saeda Kama) a Nature I was a relatively conventional but a realistic piece with palm trees, ferns, and a sky clearing towards the horizon The colours and lines were placed with care.

One has always been amazed as to how Abdus Salam found the time to Indulge in painting, despite his tight schedule us an architect.
Abdul Shakur Shah s figures in 'Drawing" from the countryside were stylised and represented well our women at repose In the villages, af ter a hard day s work, with only waiting and hoping for the menfolk to return.
Ranjit Du "Ray with the eyes viewing the world around, was symbolic and semi-abstract. with bold vertical and hori zontal lines to go with the two dlf ferent hued eyes Ranjit, despite his relative young age has always been a
serious artist, with a pessimistic vision, but hopefully a bright future for himself.
Shamlm Shikdar s "Composition" was experimental. with a figure with Iwo heads and a cut out centre. Shamlm has been bold and expert mental for al least the last ten years, after her training abroad
Prosanta Kormokar s "History 71" showed destruction and havoc, with abstractions and symbols. Il stood out In sharp contrast to many of the serene and idyllic pieces al the exhibition. Similarly. Shamlm Ahmeds "Fate", done on squares of work pieced together, had symbols. These were a hand and the crescent moon, with starving and dejected men as the main subjects.
"Man and Nature" by Farcha Zeba, with women and flowers for its subjects, was a true representation of the the theme of the exhibit. The style was admirable, while the colours remained relevant and meaningful.
Nasreen Begum brought in the wave of fresh breath with her "Boat In its semi abstract form and pale colours, touched up with experimenta tlon In texture In the same manner. Tandra Dass work, with children and flowers, had a famine touch, and was interesting tn both theme and composition . —.
