Jamini Roy, born on 11 April 1887, Baliatore, India, is one of the best-known Indian artists of the 20th century. In
the late 1920s and early ’30s he rejected his academic training and instead
developed a linear, decorative, colourful style based on Bengali folk
traditions. During the 1930s and ’40s the popularity of his paintings
represented the passage of modern Indian art from its European academic leanings to a renewed
interest in traditional iconography and abstract forms. Roy’s subject matter
ranged from the Ramayana to Christ to portraits of contemporary figures such as Mahatma
Gandhi.
