Kneeling Man takes a fresh look at tradition and Modernism , drawing freely upon ideas and values from native sources , solely guided by their need for self expression . This determined not only how they would paint but also what they would paint . A core subject in around which he would organise the perception of the worls within and without. The Kneeling Man is a perfect example of Chowdhury's mastery of lines and to make the curves depict the character of his figures. By careful distortion of the form he imparts the air of caricature in his figures, figures of men and women...
