專家說明

"Leyden introduced me very enthusiastically to Ara. Ara came from a humble background and I remember Gallery Chemould sponsored his first exhibition at Chetna in the late forties. Rajeswar Rao, the writer, came down from Paris and Mulk Raj Anand was back from London, and we were keen that it should be a big success. I remember inviting people down the road from my home - doctors, dentists, people we knew personally, we told them to go and they bought paintings for Rs 200 or so." (Kekoo Gandhy, 'The beginnings of the art movement', Seminar, no. 528, August 2003)
