Shyamal Kumar Majumdar was a sporadic artist in his 30s and 40s. 

While most of his artworks have been misplaced or tarnished by himself, a few survive, which gives us a glimpse into his mindscape.

This pencil drawing is titled 'Mayer Shopno' (A Mother's Dream), executed in the 1960s-70s. If you look closely, you'll notice affection and warmth oozing out of the eyes of the mother.

Last of the very few surviving artworks by Shyamal Kumar, this Rabindranath side face is painted with Chinese ink on tracing paper. This one is a piece of living evidence that within his limited artistic span, Majumdar was very keen on experimenting with different mediums.

This is also one of the oldest and most fragile items in the Memorabilia collection.

This artwork, a depiction of lovers in the night, was done using paper pastes, ink, and watercolour. What makes it unique is the innovation regarding the use of mediums and the fine lucid lines that successfully deliver and express the chemistry within the characters!

Tagore was (almost) every 20th-century Bengali's muse. Shyamal Majumdar was no exception. This is, most possibly, a woodcut print, taken using Chinese ink. This side-face of Rabindranath Tagore, the great poet, is an iconic subject in many artists' works. The neatness of the design and the fluidity of the lines in the print make it highly appealing to anyone who appreciates art.
