Karuna Shaha (1921-1996) was one of the first women students to enroll
in the Government College of Art and Crafts, Calcutta, and amongst the
first woman artists who persisted-indeed, insisted-on claiming
professional space in her own right. She exhibited regularly, continuing
with her drawing, sketching and painting right till the end of her
life. She was a founder member of The Group, a collective of women
artists. Shaha remains best known for her studies of the female nude,
and art historian Tapati Guha-Thakurta\'s insightful analysis explains
how \'the nude would become for her the prime symbol of artistic freedom
and the shedding of inhibitions..
