The correct answer is Option (4) → (C), (D), (B), (A)
First: (C) Journey’s End — Abanindranath Tagore made this watercolour of a collapsed camel in 1913, the earliest of the four.
Second: (D) City in the Night — Gaganendranath Tagore painted his Cubist city in 1922.
Third: (B) Tiller of the Soil — Nandalal Bose made this panel for the Haripura Congress in 1938.
Fourth: (A) Woman with Child — Jamini Roy made this gouache in 1940, the latest of the four.
Note: The NCERT book gives two dates for the Haripura panels: 1937 in the chapter text and the Dhaki caption, and 1938 with the plate of Tiller of the Soil. The order of the four works is the same with either date.
NCERT (2026-27): “Journey’s End Made by Abanindranath Tagore (1871–1951) in 1913, this painting is in watercolour. Abanindranath Tagore was seen as a father figure of nationalist and modernism of art in India.” “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.” “Tiller of the Soil This is one of the panels made by Nandalal Bose in 1938 for the Haripura Congress.” “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.” |
