Dattatraya Ganesh Godse ([D G Godse, In [Devanagari]]: दत्तात्रय गणेश गोडसे, द. ग. गोडसे) (1914-1992) was an Indian historian, playwright, art critic, art director, theater and costume designer, and illustrator. He received a Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 1988[1].
Godse wrote on a wide range of subjects: Historical personalities like Shivaji, Mastani, and Ramdas; literature; plays; architecture; sculpture; and art, including Buddhist art. He wrote an essay on Thomas Daniell's painting of the Peshwa court at Pune in 1790.
In the manner of historians and critics Vishwanath Kashinath Rajwade, Madhukar Vasudev Dhond, Godse wrote almost exclusively in Marathi.
Ashok R. Kelkar, a scholar in linguistics, literature, and semiotics, commented[2] that Godse's work is "a body of important, if controversial, work in art history from the vitalist point of view." He added that Godse's decision to write in Marathi was "fortunate in so far as it was instrumental in bringing art history home to the Marathi reader."
