Sailoz Mookherjea (1906–1960) was an Indian painter.[1] He was one of the early modernists in Indian art, known for his ability to simplify forms, use vigorous lines, and create dynamic movement in his works. Mookherjea was included in the 1979 list of Nine Masters of the Archaeological Survey of India.[2]
Mookherjea's work was deeply inspired by the people and environments around him. In 1978, India Post released a stamp featuring his painting titled The Mosque.[3]
