Tej Bahadur Chitrakar (Devanagari: तेज बहादुर चित्रकार; 1898-1971) was a Nepalese artist who had a prolific artistic career in the early 20th century. He was one of the leaders in the development of contemporary art in Nepal in the early 20th century. Chitrakar spearheaded the trend of creating art using new techniques for its aesthetic value, and introduced a new style in the milieu of traditional art which is essentially religious and follows descriptions laid down in ancient texts.〔Images of a Lifetime--: A Historical Perspective, 20th November-5th December 2005, Siddhartha Art Gallery, 2005〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Giving their art and soul )〕 ==Personal== Tej Bahadur was born in Lalitpur to a family of hereditary artists, the Chitrakar caste of Newar community.
