Catalogue Note

'When I paint...there is a flavour of India, the flavour of that sweet breeze and nature of my country. [In] the countryside I am inspired...When I sit amongst nature I have a feeling that I am the happiest man in the world. That gives me energy. You may call it spiritual or whatever you like, but that gives me the urge to live, to paint'- Indra Dugar
