Arun Bose has lived in the US (New York) since 1970, but draws his subject matter from his native India wher he is a renowned artist in India.  "The art of Arun Bose is non-narrative, non-linguistic and non-interpretive. It is pure visceral, virtuoso, visual impact. It is delivered by a highly trained and gifted hand, guided by an emotive and sensitive eye and contemplated by a precise, immaculate mind." Bose was head of printmaking at Lehman College - CUNY. He died in 2007.
