Gopal Ghosh hosted an art exhibition 'A Retrospective' at the Birla Academy of Art and Culture from 18th October'95 to 10th November'95. His paintings cover many aspects of nature. Trained in the style of art known as the neo-Bengal School, Gopal Ghose was born in Kolkata in 1913. He became a legend in his lifetime for his ingenious handling of the quick and unpredictable medium of watercolour. To him goes the credit of raising its status in Indian art history, from a dabbler's medium to an artist's medium. After obtaining a diploma in painting from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Jaipur in 1935, he formally trained in sculpture, from Government College of Art, Madras, where he studied under Debi Prasad Roy Choudhuri, known for his realistic style in his paintings and sculptures
