a few favorites from NGMA. 🪞🕯️🤍

The Editor of Illustrated Weekly of India, A. S. Raman, was a connoisseur of the arts and tirelessly promoted artists by covering them in the weekly. In 1964, he decided to take Silappadikaram to a national audience through a series of articles in Illustrated Weekly of India. To captivate the reader interest, he requested the eminent painter K. K. Hebbar, if he could render the epic in line drawings. Hebbar read Illango Adigal’s work several times and over few months brought out the epic in fifty one drawings. . . As a young man Hebbar studied Kathak for two years under the guidance of Pandit Sunder Prasad, who was the guru of the renowned Birju Maharaj. It was this intimate knowledge of the performing arts that helped Hebbar understand the rhythm and movement of the body which led to him developing his own uquie drawing style nicknamed ‘Singing Lines.’ With his affinity to dance and music and his sensitive social conscience, Hebbar was the perfect artist to illustrate the epic ‘Silappadikaram’. . . .
