Jamini Roy

The correct answer is Option 4- Jamini Roy

Woman with Child: This is a gouache painting on paper made by Jamini Roy (1887–1972) in 1940. He was called the father of the folk renaissance in India, who created an alternative vision of modern Indian identity. In the mid –1920s, he travelled to the countryside of Bengal to collect folk paintings (pats) and learn from folk artisans. He wanted to learn from the expressive power of their lines. In this painting, a mother and her child are rendered with bold simplifications and thick outlines with sweeping brush strokes. The painting exudes a crude vigour hitherto unknown in Indian art. Figures are coloured in dull yellow and brick-red background, emulating the terracotta relief of his home village in Bankura. The two-dimensional nature of the painting is derived from pat paintings and his search for simplicity and pure form is visible. Roy borrowed volume, rhythm, decorative clarity and instrumentality of the pat in his artworks. To achieve and learn the purity of the pat, he first made many monochrome brush drawings, and then, gradually, moved to basic seven colours applied with tempera.
