its analysis from textual or visual analysis.

processes one intends to analyze. One is immersed and ultimately helps create the performance by one's own behavior. It is impossible to

"Maqbool Fida Husain, known as M.F. Husain(1915-2011), was one of India's most eminent artists. Born in Pandharpur, his early years were
Indore. Husain began his career as a painter of cinema hoardings after attending art school in Bombay (now Mumbai). Using freehand drawing an

series of eight triptych paintings, commissioned in 2008 by Mrs Usha Mittal as a tribute to the richness of India's history. Each panel explores a
theme, together creating a personal vision of India, what Husain called `a museum without walls'. Interweaving religious and symbolic iconogr

colors and contours rather than to the spirit behind them. What Husain attempts in his work is, not a mechanical, rigid reproduction of folk art f

The impact of Husain's style on the work of our younger painters has been much in evidence....... This is unfortunate. No extraneous inf

Question No.66 (Question Id - 94)
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A:
Orson Welles's depth of field created a threefold realism: Ontological realism, giving to objects a concrete density; dramatic realism, refusing
to separate actor from d?cor; and psychological realism, putting the spectator back into the true conditions of perception in which nothing is
ever determined a priori.
Reason R:
Orson Welles used style so flamboyantly and was successful in his first two films that they gave prestige to what was considered uncinematic.

Case Study - 74 to 78 (Question Id - 7)
With the invention of a practical sound film, the Americans have placed it on the first step of substantial and rapid realization. Sound Recording
edged invention and it is most probable that its use will proceed along the line of least resistance, i.e. along the line of satisfying simple curiosit
there will be commercial exploitation of the most saleable merchandise, Talking Films. Those in which sound recording will proceed on a naturali
exactly corresponding with the movement on screen, and providing a certain illusion of talking people. To use sound in this way will destroy the
montage, for every adhesion of sound to a visual piece increases its inertia as a montage piece and increases the independence of its meaning
will undoubtedly be the detriment of montage, operating in the first place not on the montage pieces but on their Juxtaposition. Only a contrapun
sound in relation to the visual montage piece will afford a new potentiality of montage development and perfection.
The first experimental work with sound must be directed along the line of its distinct non- synchronization with the visual images. And only such
will give the necessary palpability which will lead later to the creation of an Orchestral Counterpoint of visual and aural images. Such a m
constructing the sound film will not confine to a national market, as must happen with the photographing of staged plays, but will give a greater
than ever before for the circulation throughout the world of a filmically expressed idea.

Assertion A :
The authors believe that cinema is essentially a visual medium which is meant to challenge the spatial realism of the camera lens. And that is
