What is the title of the painting in the image?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → City in the Night
The painting shown is City in the Night by Gaganendranath Tagore, an imaginary city built of Cubist planes and lit like a stage.
NCERT (2026-27): “City in the Night This is a watercolour painting made by Gaganendranath Tagore (1869 –1938) in 1922. He was one of the earlier Indian painters, who made use of language and syntax of Cubism to render his ideas. … He painted an interplay of diamond-shaped planes and prismatic colours, resulting in fragmented luminosity to render the mountain ranges of the city. Zigzag planes together are able to create a tight formal structure of the painting. The painting is mysteriously illuminated by artificial light, one of the features of theatre.”
