Paintings should be like the Deities, formal and worshipful | Letter to Madhudvisa

8. December 2011 by Leave a Comment

“I am in receipt of the painting you have sent. This is not a good style of painting. It is an artistic style for sense gratification only. I cannot encourage this style—it should be stopped immediately. Paintings should be like the Deities, formal and worshipful. This type of painting is sentimental and not authorized. Paintings should be as our artists in New York are doing. Do not introduce any new styles…
NB: The picture is good from artistic point but we want to worship the Lord.”
Srila Prabhupada letter to Madhudvisa, December 8, 1973
