Jogen Chowdhury has owned the line like no other, the fluid movement of which has conveyed the artist’s societal concerns through the decades. As Neville Tuli has said, his lines ‘have come closest to dissolving the notions of ugliness and beauty, vulgarity and sublimity…’ It is this fluidity of lines that anchors this Untitled work by Chowdhury, taking a snapshot of a woman in the middle of drying her hair after her bath—her half-clothed body, her head and torso bent downwards, her fingers running through her hair capture the beauty of this ephemeral moment through masterful lines.
