Cat – Jamini Roy

Description

Jamini Roy spent his career proving that the most sophisticated thing an artist can do is make something look effortless. The bold outline, the flat colour, the face that looks straight back at you with complete and total indifference to your opinion — this is a cat painted by someone who understood cats completely. Roy drew from the Kalighat pat tradition, from Bengal’s folk inheritance, and produced a visual language so assured it influenced generations of Indian artists without ever trying to. This edition brings his iconic cat into a warmer, richer interior — because some paintings simply deserve a better room. On large-format museum-grade canvas, those green eyes follow you with an authority that no amount of square footage can diminish.
