Nirad Majumdar - A Devalued Genius of Modern Indian Art

Nirad Majumdar first went to Paris when he received a French government scholarship in 1946. In Kolkata, he was a founder member of the Calcutta Group, the first progressive art group of India. Calcutta Group artists were trying to break away from the tradition of the dominating style of the Bengal School, instigated by the patriarch Abanindranath Tagore. By that time information about new developments and experiments of twentieth century European art was gradually coming in and the Calcutta Group artists, influenced by the developments, started to change the course of the modern art in India.

Nirad Majumdar became obsessed about French culture, particularly Paris, from his early days and when he ultimately landed there he at once embraced the culture. Paris in those days was the world art capital. Major painters and sculptors like Picasso, Braque, Matisse and Brancusi were at the helm of their artistic careers. Students and artists of different countries were flocking the Paris streets and boulevards, attending art courses in the Parisian academies, studying masterpieces at Louver, assembling around the masters and endlessly discussing their ideas in the cafes and social gatherings. Nirad Majumdar quickly became one of them. He was greatly influenced by Cezanne, became a close disciple of Brancusi and Braque and befriended many contemporary intellectuals. At the same time he was a regular visitor to the Parisian opera houses and theaters, met Picasso and Jean Genet, was reading Balzac, Baudelaire and Rimbaud and was deeply impressed by the modern French poetry. He was actually suggested by a noble French lady to read French love poems to learn the French language better which he spoke fluently.

But among all these activities Nirad Majumdar was searching his own artistic language. He realized soon that the modern formalism which he had closely observed in Paris, cannot give him a distinctive identity until he travels back to his Indian roots. After a deliberate search he finally ended up rediscovering the symbols and images of Tantra. He tried to make a synthesis of western form and Tantric symbolism and ultimately developed a unique style of painting, rich in idea and form. He held his first exhibition in Paris, in the year 1949, traveled to Holland and Britain and returned to India in 1958.

Majumdar started teaching art in Kolkata and later was the Principal of a Kolkata art college. He exhibited regularly; his shows were thematic representation of ideas with poetic names like 'Image Eclogue', 'Wings of no End', or 'Nine Variations of Symbolic Nine'. He revisited France again in 1977 and '78 but was bitter to see the changed face of Paris where the studio of Constantin Brancusi, the man he highly respected, was destroyed and converted into a motor garage. He wrote an extraordinary memoir after his return, 'Punoshcho Pari' (Paris Revisited). The book, written in Bengali, had glittering observations and anecdotes on French cultural life and personalities. His language was also inimitably original, full of lyrical imagery even when he was addressing ordinary subjects. The book was published after his death on September 26, 1982.

Nirad Majumdar is one of the most devalued painters of modern India. Today, in the boom and hype of modern Indian art we have almost forgotten this man.

Salaries of College Professors

Salaries of college professors are not uniform nor are they predictable. There are many factors that can affect a college professor's salary. As our Mother's kept telling us when we were growing up, the more education you have, the more money you can make. This is certainly true in academia.

Most schools pay a premium to individuals who hold a doctorate or other terminal degrees. In fact, many of the better schools do not even consider individuals who are not doctorates. Thus, a doctoral degree makes it easier to obtain academic jobs as well as paying more. Having a doctoral degree allows an individual to teach graduate as well as undergraduate classes while a master's degree will allow an individual to teach on the undergraduate level. Graduate courses are remunerated at a higher rate than that for undergraduate ones. Another factor affecting salaries of college professors is experience and longevity at an institution. As in any business, the longer you remain employed in a particular institution, the higher the salary becomes. Some regions of the country have a higher cost-of-living and, thus, professor salaries are higher to reflect this. The final factor that can affect salary level is the field that you are in. Some fields such as Science, English, History, and the Social Sciences have stable enrollments while other fields such as Criminal Justice, Business, Nursing, and Education are in demand. Thus, a premium may be paid to those who are able to teach in these fields.

These factors are taken into consideration by surveys done by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and can be found at. These surveys included the average salaries for full-time professors, the average faculty salary by institution, and the average faculty salary in selected fields. These surveys were published in The Chronicle of Higher Education at: http://chronicle.com/stats/salary/salary.htm

Salaries for part-time professors appear to fluctuate more than that for full-time professors. Unfortunately, the AAUP did not take into consideration the salaries of part-time professors. Currently, there are no reliable data regarding adjunct salaries. However, the same factors that govern the salaries of college professors is also applicable to that of adjuncts.

Dr. Howard Rubin holds a BS, 3 master's degrees, a Ph.D., and was an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow. For 20 years, he was an environmental scientist and then started teaching as an adjunct professor. Dr. Rubin continuously increased the number of colleges and then started to teach online. He was able to substantially increase his income each year until his income goals were achieved and has been able to maintain this income level for more than ten years. Over the years, Dr. Rubin has helped many people to start careers as adjunct professors.

It is within your ability to make a 6-figure income a year as a part-time professor. Unfortunately, the road to success is filled with obstacles for those who don't know how its done. Frustration and ultimate failure is the hard reality for most who try to attain this income level as an adjunct professor. Fortunately, there is an easier way to achieve success.

Information About Art Management Colleges and Schools

With the aspect of periodic payment, the salaries of art managers depend on the industry and the position. With the specific employment contract, the wage can be measured in hour and units; the Management position is well-compensated in any form of salary measurement.

The arts management graduate will work directly with artists, museums, and institutions to coordinate and develop courses that promote art, raise funds, handle finances, and implement art education and promotion courses. Some studio art majors may choose to carry double major in arts management in order to learn the business side of the arts in preparation for running their own studio or gallery.

The usual salary is always a trivial one. From the cost of living, most of the people in the United States have been suffering from the recession and most people have been affected. All of the figures shown here are removed in computation for the expenses of individuals.

Göteborg is a state of mind 1/3

I was invited to a debate about IASPIS1 in Göteborg, to hold a short introduction about my way of working and the art scene here. It was a discussion about different ideas how Göteborgs art scene should (or could) be connected to IASPIS The evening discussion was interesting, and revealing, both in how Göteborg emotionally is connected to Stockholm (from where the money (and power?) is distributed) and the rest of the world. But the discussion that revealed it self during the evening must be just the beginning of a much bigger and important understanding and debate about how the art life in this city is part of a global world. I am a strong believer of that if we do not start to professionally use the informal structures of this city, we wont be able to achieve much. The main importance here is not the institutions in them self. What makes it possible for me to stay and work in this city is the informal structures. People, colleges, and there networks is what makes the importance. Part of the misunderstanding during the evening was how we divided people in to three categories, local, national and international. This is not a good way of thinking, mainly because it do not tell anything. Most of the artist that took part of the discussion are part of all three categories already. When I got the invitation to be part of the debate and to have a ten minutes speech, the overachieving me could not resist it self. So I also did an interview film with four of the most interesting ...
