Note: This topic was not named in the CUET 2026 syllabus, but it was part of the NCERT chapter. In 2025 and 2026, NTA also asked questions on topics in NCERT that the CUET syllabus did not name. So our mocks have questions from every part of the NCERT chapter, to give you enough practice. Read the whole chapter, not only the sub-topics named in the syllabus.
NCERT (2026-27): “Introduction to Modernism in India …Rather than making paintings around well-known epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata, Benode Behari Mukherjee was drawn to the lives of medieval saints. On the walls of Hindi Bhavana in Shantiniketan, he made a mural called Medieval Saints, in which he charts a history of medieval India through the lives of Tulsi Das, Kabir and others, and focuses on their humane teachings.” “Devi This is an etching on paper made by Jyoti Bhatt (1934) in 1970. …Bhatt also made artworks like Kalpvruksha, Self-Portrait, Forgotten Monuments, Sita’s Parrot, Still Life with Two Lamps, Scattered Image under the Warm Sky, Tirthankara, etc.” “Rural South Indian Man–Woman This is an etching print on paper made by Laxma Goud (1940...) in 2017. …Some of his other artworks are Woman, Man, Landscape of Turkey, Untitled, Xiyan China, etc.” “Modern Ideologies and Political Art in India …Chittoprasad’s etchings, linocuts and lithographs showed the deplorable condition of the poor. It is not surprising that he was asked by the Communist Party of India to travel to villages worst affected by the Bengal Famine and make sketches. These were later published as pamphlets under the name, Hungry Bengal, much to the annoyance of the British.” |
