Zainul Abedin জয়নুল আবেদিন (1914-1976) - Levelling the Ploughed Field (1943)
Bangladesh 10T stamp issued 1986
Abedin work became famous during the Bengal famine of 1943, when he composed a number of sketches of life in the rural parts of Bangladesh. This famine occurred during the middle of WWII after the fall of Singapore and the subsequent invasion of neighbouring Burma by the Japanese. During this period of extreme hardship, Adebin's modern art gained wide recognition.
