New York Times reviews "Kathak Dancers"


"Veru Narula’s “Kathak Dancers” is stealthily political. It is an oil painting of a group of three dancers performing against a surreal-looking landscape with a fiery red sky. Kathak is a classical dance from northern India and also the national dance of Pakistan. The link with Pakistan here is significant, for the dancers all wear gas masks. I read this painting as an allegory for the threat of war between the two countries, both of them now nuclear powers."
