If in Delhi, do go for this stunning, and historic, exhibition of Abu Abraham’s cartoons and drawings. Truly superb!

[Open Magazine @Openthemag]

The exhibition is as much a celebration of #AbuAbraham’s oeuvre as an editorial cartoonist as it is a recollection of a time when the high and mighty were mocked in the same fashion as one applied the law: without fear or favour, writes @Ullekh https://t.co/Bpxee94pUh

[Abu’s World @abusworld100]

#HTWknd | It takes subtlety, and an understanding of human frailties, to be a good political cartoonist.

Abu Abraham was the peak of the pyramid in this respect, says curator Uma Nair.

He sketched a saga in every frame, she tells @arshiadhar

Abu Abraham’s cartoons capture the resistance to the growing centralisation of power and challenge to the constitution from authoritarianism, among others. The enduring power of these themes in our current times is striking as we view the cartoons now.

VIDEO | Celebrating the works of cartoonist Abu Abraham, an exhibition titled 'Abu's World' is currently underway at the India International Centre in New Delhi.

The exhibition features Abraham's works, which are infused with insightful wit and sharp commentary on contemporary issues, including the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Vietnam War, the Emergency years, and the rise of Hindutva politics in the early 90s.

Abu’s cartoons captured the continuities in global politics – the Israel-Palestine conflict, the cold war in Afghanistan, and the struggle for the creation of Bangladesh, and much more.

Drawing the Line: The cartoons of Abu Abraham savaged the pieties and pretences of politics. An exhibition brings back the originality with which he captured an era, writes @Ullekh https://t.co/Bpxee94pUh

The centenary exhibition of the works of #AbuAbraham in IIC is being inaugurated today eve (6 pm) by #RomilaThapar. Delhi folks, do attend if you can. I saw the exhibition in Bangalore. My write-up below.

[The Federal @TheFederal_News]

#AbuAbraham’s most memorable cartoon is the one drawn during the #Emergency when powers of the press were curbed and new laws were being put in place through ordinances.

In his centenary year, #AbuAbraham’s cartoons look so far away in a world of unlimited freedom. He was one of the most loved and admired English-language #Cartoonists in India, alongside #RKLaxman.
