Renowned sculptor and painter Hamiduzzaman Khan, whose work etched the spirit of Bangladesh's Liberation War into the nation's public memory, has died. He passed away at 10:07am today while receiving treatment at Dhaka's United Hospital, his wife, painter Ivy Zaman, confirmed. Hamiduzzaman had been admitted on July 15 and remained in intensive care for three days, battling a severe case of dengue and pneumonia. Plans are underway to bring his body to Dhaka University's Faculty of Fine Arts, his alma mater and longtime professional home. Deeply influenced by the 1971 war, Hamiduzzaman's works stand across the country as testaments to courage, resistance, and remembrance.
