Writings, talks, letters of Sri Aurobindo & The Mother that were preserved by Champaklal. 'These writings to devotees are most valuable..' - Champaklal
Sri Aurobindo'S COMMENTS:
His sketches are very living and very expressive. He is certainly an artist.
Yamuna: the river is good but the figure is self-satisfied. Krishna and Vidur: Vidur is good. Kailas: not bad. Shiva with cobra: good.
GENERAL REMARK:
The artistic part is all right but he lacks in idea, that is to say, there is nothing big in the idea.
Kailas: very good.
Shiva profile: more original; there is some expression.
Dwga and Fire: good; the face of the fire is not that of fire, they seem to have benevolent, goody goody faces.
Cloud and Mountain; Manas lake: good.
He is an artist but as I said his figures ... I have not fixed my opinion yet.
Everything is all right except the faces. The faces are satisfying. There is calm, trance or sweetness in them but no deeper conception.
