…(unlike) the Impressionist painters Jamini Roy never used black in his landscapes. He used ultramarine or prussian blue instead. Since he began his landscapes with these blues, the other colours of the painitngs too had to be set to the same scale. These pictures have been enriched by the unrestricted application of the brush and colours in small scale works of the artist of our country?

It is sometimes asked why an orthodox Hindu who has never even read the New Testament should be interested in the subject of the Christ. Jamini Roy gives several reasons.
In the first place, he wanted to find out if his new technique could be applied with equal effect to a subject remote from his personal life. And for this purpose the Christian myth seemed a suitable choice. He was further encouraged by the fact that he had seen photo-reproductions of the Renaissance masterpieces which had left him dissatisfied. It was wrong, he thought, that these painters should attempt to convey the essentially human character of Christ by naturalistic or representational means; and he wanted to show that the human and the divine could be made one only by abstract, symbolic means…
…he (J.R.) has introduced into these portraits a new tenderness and a quality of intense homeliness which neither the Byzantine, with his abstract intensity and other-worldly mysticism, nor the humanist painter, with his essentially human conception of Christ, had ever quite captured. We are inclined to think that this has been done before only by the medieval folk-artists of Western Europe, or perhaps by the simple-minded and pious authors of the Russian icon… In particular, one can find a close parallel between Jamini Roy’s studies of Christ (Plates XI, XII) and the anonymous French folk-painters of the 12th century whom Gauguin copied.
The genuine religious feeling in Jamini Roy’s Christ studies is striking; and here again we trace the assimilating mind of Hinduism at work, for perhaps it would be true to say that only the Hindu (who 1900 years ago gave asylum to St. Thomas) can experience genuine feeling for a religious myth that is essentially foreign to his own belief
