"In 1971, he exhorted his fellow artists in Lucknow and elsewhere to achieve a link-up with their tradition in real terms so that eventually this tradition will come to life like a many-headed giant and speak to them with many mouths." (Sonal Khullar, "The New Primitives: K G Subramanyan," Worldly Affiliations , Oakland: University of California Press, 2015, p. 166)
