Art critic, O. C. Ganguly wrote in 1944 on his Famine Sketches, " in the daring Bravado of his pitiless strokes there is a spontaneity, sincerity, and an uncompromising realism which is rare among modern artists of Bengal. He has, indeed, opened a new page in modern painting by his distinguished contributions. As truthful records of the history of Bengal in 1943, Abedin's drawings are invaluable documents. As a worshipper of beauty in the terrible phase of human life - le beau dans l'horrible - this artist has raised pictorial art to dizzy heights from the low level of silly sentimentalism, hitherto current in Bengal". |
