Anwar Chitrakar is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Anwar Chitrakar paints in the Kalighat tradition, a 19th-century style from Calcutta that turned everyday scenes into bold, witty scrolls. His brush traces street life with sharp lines and quick colors, like The Policeman's Bribe (2010) where a crowd watches a cop pocket a coin, or Work in Progress (2011) that captures a painter hunched over his scroll. The style’s playful exaggeration makes modern stories feel timeless. Tap The Policeman's Bribe to see how today’s headlines echo an old art form.
