(C) Painting
(D) Drama
Answer: (C) Jamini Roy was an Indian painter. His key works were “Bride and two Companions”, 1952; and Dual Cats with one Crayfish”, 1968. His new style was a reaction against the Bengal School and Western tradition. His underlying quest was threefold: to capture the essence of simplicity embodied in the life of the folk people; to make art accessible to a wider section of people, and to give Indian art its own identity. He was awarded the Padma Bhusan in 1954.
