Abstract :

The use of art and design was limited to the entertainment of people in form of paintings, drawings and illustrations in the olden days. Gradually the forms of art took the route towards commercialisation which is termed as Applied Art and Design. This segment uses art as a medium to visually communicate messages to people regarding different subjects. Late Mr. Asit Mukherjee, is a renowned artist in the state of Odisha (formerly Orissa) and is recognised for his contribution to the fine art. His talent of applying his art into various commercial ventures like illustration in books, book cover designs etc. helped the publishers and the authors to portray their books and its contents in a much presentable way. He was a pioneer and a legend in the field of art in the state and highlighting his contribution will inspire the budding artists of today to shape a good career in the world of Design.
