The Buddha 

Jahar Dasgupta's "The Buddha" is a striking portrait of the enlightened figure. The painting features a close-up of the Buddha's face, rendered in a simplified, almost cartoonish style. His golden skin stands out against the vibrant blue background, while white, stylized leaves swirl around his head, symbolizing peace and tranquility. Dasgupta, born in 1942, is known for his unique style that blends traditional Indian art with modern influences. The simplified forms and bold colors in "The Buddha" are reminiscent of folk art, creating a sense of serenity and spiritual contemplation.
