Emami Art presents, Lalit Mohan Sen: An Enduring Legacy. Besides being a painter and printmaker, for which he is better known today, Lalit Mohan Sen (1898-1954) was also a fine and prolific photographer. Although he perhaps started taking photographs in the early 1920s or even before, he took up photography professionally as a creative medium only after he went to England to study art at the Royal College of Art in 1925. He produced many photographs and exhibited them widely in India and London exhibitions in the following two decades. Besides his photography practice, he significantly spread photography culture in northern India through his efforts, institutional fairs, and the UP Armature Photographic Association, founded in the early 1930s. Despite his immense contribution to creative photography as an artist and institution builder, his name is not heard in India’s history of photographic modernism.
