Leonard Gordon was introduced to Jamini Roy by his professor and life-long friend, Edward C. Dimock, Jr., of the University of Chicago while studying Bengali under a Ford Foundation Foreign Area Program grant. Mr. Gordon arrived in Calcutta in 1963 and soon became close friends with the artist, often visiting his home in Ballygunge where the front part served as a gallery to display and sell his paintings.
