About the Artist: Jamini Roy (11th April 1887- 24th April 1972).

He is best known for combining and bringing in the interconnectedness of both modern and traditional techniques and creating intricate paintings. He was one of the students who studied under Abanindranath Tagore at the age of 16. At first, he tried his way through traditional methods of art which were mainly traditional Bengali artworks. It was later on that he experimented with mixing both western and Indian styles together and this worked out very well for him.
