In 1964, Mulk Raj Anand published The Singing Line
which illustrated Hebbar's drawings of dancers and
musicians. 'Not bound by his training in classical
anatomy of perspective, and eliminating details, the
artisttried to express here the rhythm of line, aiming,
as he succinctly put it, "to achieve the maximum with
the minimum lines"' (ibid.). Indeed Hebbar greatly
appreciated music and in paintings like this elevated it
to a spiritual status.- extracted fromthe book.
