Artist Kamrul Hassan was a Bengali artist. Hassan is often referred to in Bangladesh as Potua, a word usually associated with folk artists, due to his down to earth style yet very modern in nature as he always added Cubism other than the folk style to his artworks. In addition to his artistic legacy, two of Hassan's work have come to be part of Bangladesh's political history. The first of this is a monstrous rendition of Yahya Khan, the Pakistani president who ordered genocide in Bangladesh. The second was just before his death, mocking the then-dictator of Bangladesh, Hossain Mohammad Ershad. This sketch was titled 'Desh aaj bisshobehayar khoppore' (Our land is now in the hand of the champion of shamelessness). Born: 1921, Calcutta, British India. Died: 1988 (aged 66–67), Dhaka, Banglades. Nationality: Bangladeshi Education: Calcutta Madrasa University of Calcutta (1947) Award: Independence Day Award (1979), President's Gold Medal (1965) Notable work: Goon Tana, The Happy Return, Biral, Nabanna, Gorur Snan etc.
