The latest phase of Akbar Padamsees heads relates to an earlier series of heads he painted in the 1950's titled Prophets. Although the execution of the works have changed over a period of forty years the essential approach towards the head has remained unchanged.
Eunice de Souza, in a retospective essay, writes 'most of the figures evoke a sense of vulnerability and anguish, yet none of them are simple victim figures. They are not merely alone, but essentially separate from the viewer...This separateness is so persistent a feature of the paintings that one is forced to ask whether it arises out of a sense of the privacy of the self, or an uncompromising existential search in which each man or woman is irrevocably alone..' (Eunice de Souza, Akbar Padamsee, Art Heritage, New Delhi.)
