Amrita Sher-Gil

B.

ME Hussain

C.

Tyeb Mehta

D.

Raja Ravi Verma

Correct option is C


“Mahishasura” is one of the most renowned works by the modern Indian artist Tyeb Mehta (1925–2009). He was celebrated for his bold, vibrant, and often highly interpretive style, which placed him among the most influential figures in India’s post-independence art scene.
In “Mahishasura,” Tyeb Mehta reimagines a mythological narrative from Indian lore, in which the demon Mahishasura is ultimately subdued by the Goddess Durga. The painting resonates for its sharp lines and dynamic use of color, encapsulating the intense emotional and symbolic conflicts in the myth.
Over the years, Tyeb Mehta’s works have set record prices in art auctions, reflecting both his technical mastery and cultural significance.
