Find the best of Indian art painting in this collection of folk art painting from various regions of India. These Indian paintings depict Indian life through various schools of Indian art. Some painting have a very old style and some are relatively modern paintings. We feature reproduction painting from the Jamini Roy school of art and Kalighat painting from West Bengal. Jamini Roy develop a unique style and identity, around 1925, he began experimenting with folk art in India, borrowing ideas from the Kalighat painting and the terracotta work of the Vishnupur temple. By the 1930s, he had switched over completely to indegenous styles and medium for his art - using his own painting surfaces of cloth, wood or even cane mats coated with lime, instead of the traditional canvas used by painters, and earth and vegetable colors for paints. His artwork definitively stepped away from the familiar styles of schooled training in art and embraced the wild lyrical beauty of the folk art of Bengal.
