| Quamrul Hassan |
Quamrul Hassan is a famous Bangladeshi artist. He was born in 1921 at Kolkata, India. He is the designer of Bangladesh National Flag and logo of Bangladesh Biman. Hassan is often referred to in Bangladesh as Potua, a word usually associated with folk artists, due to his down to earth style. In addition of his artistic legacy, two of Hassan's work have come to be part of Bangladesh's political history. The first of this is a monstrous rendition of Yahya Khan, the Pakistani president who ordered genocide in Bangladesh. The second was just before his death, mocking the then dictator of Bangladesh, Hossain Mohammad Ershad. This sketch was titled Desh ajj bisshobehayar khoppore (Our land is now in the hand of champion of shamelessness). He was died in 1988.
