He had a reply to everything and anything under the sun. And
the most intriguing part of it was that he did so, without saying a word. His
common man said it all out for him. R.K. Laxman, one of the best caricature
artists in India, passed away on 26th January, 2015, but through his and
indirectly the common man’s life we learnt many lessons of life.
- He was the brother of the late, R. K. Narayan, the creator of Malgudi days
He was rejected by J J College of
Arts in Mumbai and was later invited there as a chief guest
The boy in the Asian Paints logo
– Gattu – was created by him
'
Illustrations that appear in the
TV adaptation of RK Narayan’s Malgudi Days were drawn by R. K. Laxman
R. K. Laxman became the first
cartoonist to exhibit in London
He had a special attachment
towards crow and drawing crow
“But I have been watching the crows since childhood. I loved
the colour on its face. It can count up to seven – number seven it can count. They
have made an observation. They are very clever birds.” – R. K. Laxman

man” has been put up at Symbiosis Institute, Pune
