Catalogue Note

Jogen Chowdhury has been fascinated yet revering and even sympathetic in his depiction of women. In this work he juxtaposes two women exploring their relationship and differences. The artist states '...whenever I have portrayed women, I have been moved by the same surge of sympathy. Not in this painting alone, but nowhere in my works have I been able to distort a woman’s features or figure.' (Jogen Chowdhury, Enigmatic Visions, Glenbarra Art Museum, 2005, p. 86).
