Jamini Roy is an Indian painter, honored with the State award of Padma Bhushan. Roy's rejection of the then modern style of painting and his foray into the realm of Bengali folk paintings marked a new beginning in the history of Indian modern art.
Jamini Rai captured the qualities that are a part of the native folk painting and recombined them with those of his own. He fused the minimal brush strokes of the Kalighat style with elements of tribal art from Bengal.

About A Santhal Couple
"A Santhal Couple" is a well-recognized painting by the Indian master Jamini Roy depicting a man and woman belonging to the Santhal tribe. The Santhal are a tribal community indigenous to India. His mastery in art reflects in the rural compositions where he was able to tactfully capture the simplicity embodied in folk life. Roy used bold, sweeping brushstrokes while painting and restricted his palette to seven vibrant and earthy colours – Indian red, yellow ochre, cadmium green, vermillion, grey, blue and white. Roy's rejection of the then modern style of painting and his foray into the realm of Bengali folk paintings marked a new beginning in the history of Indian modern art.About the Posters
