Sadanand Bakre

Sadanand Bakre (S. K. Bakre) (10 November 1920 – 18 December 2007) was an Indian painter and sculptor.

Bakre was born in Baroda, and was one of the founders of the Bombay Progressive Artists' Group,[1][2] the pioneers of modern art in India.[3] In 1951, he went to Britain, where he soon gave up sculpture and concentrated on painting. He had a one-man exhibition at the Commonwealth Institute (1951), another at Gallery One (1959), and four at the Nicholas Treadwell Gallery (1969–1975).[4]

Bakre returned to India in 1975. In his later years he became a recluse, but he received a lifetime achievement award from the Bombay Art Society in 2004.[5] He died from a heart attack[1] in Murud-Harnai in the Ratnagiri district in 2007.[4]
