NCERT (2026-27): “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 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. …The two-dimensional nature of the painting is derived from pat paintings and his search for simplicity and pure form is visible.”
