Prof. Sukhvir Sanghal's contribution to Indian art reflects a rare synthesis of technical mastery and philosophical depth. I am glad to visit the Art Studio of Mr. Sanghal, an ex-student of my school, at Allahabad. He also recently helped the Allahabad University to organise an Art exhibition which was a great success. He also exhibited his own works in various exhibitions in India and abroad. He is a young artist of great talent. He has got true sense of balance, rhythm and proportion and his works show very great promise. In his studio he has got a group of lay-artists to whom he has already been able to inspire. I wish his school a great success.
It was an immense pleasure to revist this 'museum' of my mother's art teacher Shri. Sukhvir Singhal, who in my view was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He was in my opinion among the three best wash painters that India produced. Unfortunately not adequately recognized. I always like to do this pilgrimage whenever I am in Lucknow. I wish his family all the best in showcasing his work.
