Animals in Composition is significant in that it reveals the remarkable visual idiom of L. Munuswamy. Through his art, we are exposed to an energy, a romance of the lines, forms, and colours. The colour palette and the overall composition is thoughtfully imagined and rendered. The artist’s search for a visual idiom allowed him to experiment a lot, creating works that had vitality with emphasis on the lines. Even here, the prominence of the line remains consistent, giving the work an inherent rhythm and enigmatic energy.
