‘Missing’ Humayun Ahmed painting exhibited in Cumilla
A controversy has stirred up centring a painting of celebrated writer, playwright and filmmaker Humayun Ahmed that either got lost or stolen during the time of his death in USA in 2012, and has now resurfaced in Cumilla after almost nine years.
The painting, which was displayed at a 10-day art exhibition in the city, was painted by the prolific writer while undergoing cancer treatment in New York.
Meher Afroz Shaon, widow of Humayun, alleged that event organisers did not obtain the painting legally and it was part of five stolen paintings of the legendary litterateur.
