Debu Barve remembers painter Jehangir Sabavala: "One of the prominent figures from [the] Indian art scene."

Barve describes Sabavala as a painter who was "known to work on his paintings for long hours… His style had a strong cubist influence perhaps inherited from his decade long academic stay in Europe in late 40s and early 50s… his paintings give a feel similar to that of Robert Delaunay or Lyonel Feininger."
