Krishna Reddy (Nandanoor, India 1925 – New York, United States 2018).
From 1941 to 1946, Reddy studied at the Institute of Fine Arts (Kala Bhavana) at Visva-Bharati University under Nandalal Bose and earned a degree in fine arts. From 1947 to 1949, he headed the art department at the Kalakshetra Foundation and also taught art at the Montessori Teacher Training Center in Madras. It was during this period that he developed an interest in sculpture and painting.
In 1949, he moved to London and continued his studies in sculpture under Henry Moore at the Slade School of Fine Arts at the University of London. In 1950, Reddy moved to Paris and met the artist Constantin Brâncuși. Through Brâncuși, he discovered artistic discussions in cafés and met many famous artists during studio visits. During his stay in Paris, he studied sculpture under Ossip Zadkine and printmaking under Stanley William Hayter.
In 1957, he went to the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan to study under Marino Marini. In 2016, he was among the artists featured in the exhibition “Studio and Legacy: Stanley William Hayter, Krishna Reddy, Zarina Hashmi” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His works are part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
