Francis Newton Souza (1924-2002) was an Indian-American British artist, born in Goa, India. He went on to become one of India's most influential modern artists. Souza was a founding member of the Progressive Artists' Group, which largely disbanded after he moved to London in 1949. His work is executed in a style which exhibits both decadence and primitivism. The world record at auction for the artist's iconic works stands at $4,085,000.
