拍品专文

"I did not confine my paintings to a single limited space. I refused to succumb to any exclusive obligation to make any social comment. I have accepted for my subject matter whatever I have liked. I have always sought to move forward, to remain open to ideas. I have chosen still lifes, human faces, forms of divinities, as they came to me through a general system and through demands of form, so that they could develop into a series."
- Jogen Chowdhury
