The Art

painting through drawing or

sketching. He said, “I just paint,

and if I don’t like it, I paint over the

same canvas two or three times, or

many times. I do not use drawing

and sketching as preparation for

painting; they are completely

different works.” On May 18, 2003,

he hosted an afternoon of music

and art in his Manhattan studio,

ragas on the sarangi surrounded

by his paintings.
