Yusuf

Description

Nearly 4 decades ago, Yusuf came in contact with the great artist J. Swaminathan whilst setting up the Graphic Workshop at Bharat Bhavan, Bhopal. Swaminarhan considered that “there is none better than Yusuf who understands the meaning and magic of the line.” Madhu Jain, Art Critic, remarks “Precision and restraint are the two attributes consistently in evidence in his works. Unsentimental to the point of austerity, the paintings have a palpable rhythm.” Yusuf employs the abstract medium for uncovering what is not directly accessible. His paintings hint at a distribution of cosmic bodies and a simultaneous aloofness, gravitation and musical movement. Yusuf remarks “My paintings are musical notations of music yet unborn.
