Literary Reference
" The feature of Biswas’s art that makes the greatest impact is the frenetic energy of his line. At no stage does he use the line to beguile and seduce. Instead it is a weapon to shock and arouse. It is a tool used best to distill the essence of movement. "Ella Datta, rpt. in Art Heritage Journal. No. 8, 1988-89; p106. rpt. in De.Onl/30.07.22, Lot 16
