Jamini Roy is famous in the field of ______.

Verified Answer
A. Music/संगीत
B. Dance/नृत्य
C. Painting/चितूकला
D. Clay Modelling/मूर्तिकला

Explanation:

Jamini Roy (1887–1972) was a celebrated Indian painter, widely recognized for his unique style that blended traditional Indian folk art with modern sensibilities. He was a pioneer of modern Indian art and is particularly known for his simple, yet powerful, depictions of rural life and religious themes, often using bold lines and flat colors. His work primarily falls under the category of painting. Option A (Music), Option B (Dance), and Option D (Clay Modelling) are incorrect because Jamini Roy's artistic contributions and fame are exclusively associated with the visual art of painting, not performing arts or sculpture.
