Question 17*
According to an anecdote, the scriptwriter of this legendary
work, was perplexed with the challenge of narration which was
to lead the show. As it happened he would spend the mornings

be ready.

accidentally set to 1:30 AM. This broke the already turbulent
sleep of our scriptwriter. He headed straight for the writing
room and exclaimed ____ had got better of him. Perhaps this
was the Eureka moment he was waiting for.
This influenced the scriptwriter to make what creative decision?

While there is certain scientific logic behind the naming of this
work, in recent years the deviations encountered from

nomenclature.

Question 9
Perhaps one of the most visible example of inspirational art forms
in the 20th century is _____ by A. From an art critic's description
one can be led to believe that this is a fine example of globalisation.
The parallels between lives of the artists are there, right in front of
us. Both A and B in general based their paintings on subjects of
countries far away from their nations of birth, the only difference
being that while A was associated with both countries since
childhood, B only went to the other in a later part of his life.
Coming specifically to the artwork, similarities start from the brown
body of the subject. Straight black hair is tied in form of a simple
pony tail indicating absence of couture. If not the painting, the
name of the piece leaves us with no doubt that A was inspired by B.
ID both the artists. Brownie points for the painting.
Answer
A - Amrita Shergill

  • 128. Question 9 Perhaps one of the most visible example of inspirational art forms in the 20th century is _____ by A. From an art critic's description one can be led to believe that this is a fine example of globalisation. The parallels between lives of the artists are there, right in front of us. Both A and B in general based their paintings on subjects of countries far away from their nations of birth, the only difference being that while A was associated with both countries since childhood, B only went to the other in a later part of his life. Coming specifically to the artwork, similarities start from the brown body of the subject. Straight black hair is tied in form of a simple pony tail indicating absence of couture. If not the painting, the name of the piece leaves us with no doubt that A was inspired by B. ID both the artists. Brownie points for the painting.
