|a Against a maroon background, the blue-skinned Kṛṣṇa and his brother Balarāma stand symmetrically around an axial tree, watched by peacocks. Jamini Roy (1887-1974) sought a modern Indian artistic identity in the folk art and rural communities of his native Bengal. This region is home to a distinct form of Vaiṣṇava bhakti that emphasises the devotee’s love for Kṛṣṇa. The painting’s iconography can be directly traced to the seventeenth and eighteenth century terracotta temples built in rural Bengal. Roy’s choice of colour evokes the vibrant narrative scrolls (paṭa) used by travelling storytellers, and the bold, confident black lines can be traced to the ninenteenth-century urban folk tradition of painting that developed around the Kalighat temple in Calcutta (Text by Crispin Branfoot, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.) |
