Abstract

The painter traces the development of his work in his native India from his childhood depictions of his immediate surroundings to his present-day semi-abstract symbolical expressionist paintings that reflect his emotive reactions to his milieu. He also discusses the relevance in his development of modern Indian art ranging from the works of Raja Ravi Varma (1848–1900), who introduced Western schools of figurative drawing and oil painting, to those of his contemporaries who have been influenced by Western non-figurative art.
