The integrity of his lines

The integrity
of his lines
Artist Krishen Khanna
has this to say about
Adimoolam’s drawings:
“In his drawings, there
are no flippant gestures,
no unfinished passages
which might have carried
innuendos. There were
no suggestive passages,
no probabilities. He
states all that he intended
to state. The drawings are
complete within
themselves and are at
once the strength and
shortcomings of his art.
Whatever else may be
said about them, there
can be no doubt about
their intentions and
certainly there is not the
slightest hint of any
pretension. They remain
a testament to his
integrity.”
