"...the two-volume life-in-art of painter A. Ramachandran co-published by the National Gallery of Modern Art and Vadehra Art Gallery is a definite collectible...the visual material used in these well-printed books is extensive and interesting, from personal photographs to the repros of works from succeeding stages of the artist’s life....Ramachandran’s woman figures have the most maliciously beautiful faces seen since Aubrey Beardsley and Gustav Klimt. But the delicate drawings of this decade tell us that the ardent dreamer of long ago lives on beneath."
