Francis Newton Souza
Francis Newton Souza (12 April 1924 – 28 March 2002), commonly referred to as F. N. Souza, was an Indian artist. He was a founding member of the Progressive Artists' Group of Bombay, and was the first post-independence Indian artist to achieve high recognition in the West. Souza's style exhibited both low-life and high energy. Neelam Raaj wrote in ''The Times of India'':
==Early life and education==
Born in village of Saligao, Goa to Roman Catholic parents, he lost his father when he was three months old. When he survived an attack of smallpox, which left him scarred, his grateful mother named him Francis after the patron saint of Goa, St Francis Xavier.〔 His mother was a seamstress and one of Souza's better-known paintings depicts a sewing machine. He attended St. Xavier's College in Bombay (now Mumbai), but was expelled for drawing graffiti in a toilet. He claimed he was only correcting the original graffiti because it was so bad, but the priests didn't accept that.
Souza studied at the Sir J. J. School of Art in Bombay, but was expelled in 1945 because of his support for the Quit India Movement.
Souza joined the Communist Party of India in 1947.
