THE MOTHER AND THE CHILD

Two of my Jamini Roy favorites. Perhaps because I grew up with these framed prints in my room.


When I was very little, the whole family went to an art exhibition (which obviously I have no recollection of) and returned with several poster prints of Jamini Roy's works bought after the show. For years afterward many of these prints occupied the walls of our home. I wonder how the mother child duo landed in my room. They hung next to one another. And I loved how the two mothers with their small ones close to them, stared at the world in the same quiet way.
