    From 1924 onwards, Jamini Roy experimented with a new idiom. It was clear that he was looking for ways to simplify form. His images for the most part became monochromatic. With a masterly control of the brush, he created contours of the form with fluid, calligraphic lines. The above sketch is a head study illustrative of these visual elements.
