Like most Indians, I am part ancient and part very modem. We are great assimilators of inputs and ideas, not to speak of foreign invasions and cultures. If I had in any way felt that my particular vision, or that the geometry, colour, form, tone and space values that I have built up over 50 years of intensive work, were in any way being compromised by the computer, I would have rejected the experience outright. On the contrary it helped crystalize my conceptions, and opened up new dimensions of expressiveness that would not have been possible ordinarily."   1922: Born in Babaria, Madhya Pradesh. 1946-48: J.J.
