Soft cover. Condition: New. The humble man who began his early meditation in the narrow, serpentine lanes of a North Calcutta neighbourhood, became a silent revolutionary. Inspired by the folk traditions of Bengal, he created a unique artistic vision. Thus was the euphoric trajectory of Jamini Roy, the first native genius to have connected rural art to the global. Jamini Roy: A Painter Who Revisited the Roots explores the remarkable career of the maestro from the late 1910s till his very last days. It closely examines not only the steep bends of Roy's art that culminated in his signature style, but also the very process through which he reconnected with his indigenous rootedness. It engages in detail with the influence that various forms of folk art wielded over him. However, Roy's located identity was mediated by the contemporary Modernist idiom, and the elements in his uniquely Bengal-based visual narratives are underpinned by a conscious intention to simplify, abbreviate, and thus reveal the essential, 'significant' form. It also addresses the plural lines of conflicts that underlie the very making of his artbetween the urban and the rural, local and the global. Told in a simple and engaging mode, the book explores the multiple facets of a man for whom art was both a livelihood and a meditative journey, and follows his life of disciplined simplicity along with his quirks and idiosyncrasies.

The modern period in Indian art coincides with the prologue to agitation for India's Independence. In the visual arts the rise of national sentiment precipitated the search for a quintessentially Indian artistic expression. Jamini Roy pulled himself away from the prevailing styles of the day in search of a pictorial idiom radically different from contemporary solutions, yet which had an indigenous basis. He did this by harnessing his aesthetic concerns to the folk arts of Bengal. Alignment with the visual culture of the rural masses provided a site for locating identity, thus tying the urban environment of the art world with that of rural Bengal and fulfilling the contemporary demand for a united image of Indian tradition. This book attempts to consider the total (visual and psychological) effect of Jamini Roy's paintings, drawing out the implications of "picturing" the poor in the vision of a spiritual pre-industrial India, much as was used by Gandhi in his formulation of an Indian utopian vision. The book explores the transformation of Bengal folk art in the paintings of Jamini Roy and considers how the folk idiom met his bid for aesthetic independence. If Jamini Roy defined himself by forging a new trajectory of modern art in India, one is required to ask: what is modern about his art and what is Indian about it? The questions of self-definition and identity thus form a continuous theme throughout this work. Inscribed by Author(s).
