But he shunned his Western training eventually and turned to India's folk and tribal art forms in the wake of nationalist sentiments sweeping the country in the early 1920s.
He took to portray his own people — the men, women and children of Bengal (his native land and the bastion of India's freedom movement) — and developed a distinctive style that was bold, vibrant and refreshing.
Roy believed that like Chinese landscapes, nonessential background details needed to be discarded. Hence, the subjects stood out beautifully in all his works.
