Jamini Roy (born 11th April, 1887 in Beliatore village of Bankura, West Bengal), was a Padma Bhushan recipient and is one of nine masters whose works have been recognized by the Government of India as art treasures due to their artistic and aesthetic value. Having passed out from the Government Art College in Calcutta in 1954, and after a brief period of doing commissioned work, Jamini Roy began experimenting with a folk-art form, often loosely referred to as the Kalighat Pot paintings and dedicated the rest of his life seeking his roots in the spirit of rural Bengal, only to pour out his feelings on his canvases in his unique style for posterity. Jamini Roy, restricted his palette to seven colours, abhorring chemical dyes and mineral colours.
All paintings by Jamini Roy used in this production are royalty paid.
