...deny the honesty, soberness and austere public life of Singh. But there are also inabilities and inefficiencies that could work against him. Political problems may outweigh Singh's good personal qualities. India needs a firm initiative to establish political consensus. Mere advice to the political parties is not enough. Singh's humility and avoidance of personal publicity are exemplary and should be a permanent rule for all politicians.

The works made à partir de the paintings are not mere copies of them: derivation is what is possible. Not duplication, but dissemination. The Ingres is recast in a world of matrices, etched linear lines, solid, dashed or dotted, with a constant and deliberate geometrical pattern by which effects of depth and texture are achieved. The color of the paint may be lost, but something else is gained...
