A big name in Indian art shows how strong someone can be and how much they can create. Born before India was free, this person became known as someone who painted, made statues, painted on walls, and wrote. Even though they lost their hearing when they were young, which could have stopped many people, it actually helped them express themselves through art. They became a major voice after India became free, amazing people with their very emotional works. Their art often showed what was happening in society and politics at the time, connecting with the feeling of a country finding itself. People who worked with them praised them for their new ways of doing things and the strong feeling in their art. One important critic said their work was like "a conversation between what's inside the artist and what's really happening in India as it quickly changes." Besides painting and making statues, they also became a writer, sharing their ideas and experiences through thoughtful writing. Their wall paintings, which decorated important buildings and public areas, became famous landmarks, showing how long their work would last. They leave behind a great collection of art. What they gave to Indian art can't be denied, making them one of the most important artists of the 1900s and later.
