Nirode Mazumdar (11 May 1916 – 26 September 1982) was an Indian painter from the first generation of modernists, and a key member of the Calcutta Group. Almost a forgotten figure today, he strode the art scenario from the 40's like a colossus. Long before his other contemporaries recognised the importance of symbolism, he applied them generously to achieve his philosophical and artistic aspirations. His paintings are based on what he called 'constructive symbolism'. A significant artist of the last century, he was almost a cult figure amongst the art fraternity and a titan of 20th century modernism.
