‘There is a spatial quality in the recent painting (1970 onwards), a sense of flight, of movement, and there is an aerial perspective (sometimes a series of perspectives), and it seems that the painter is looking at landscape in a number of ways and from different angles and points of view… The increasing mastery Ram has acquired over paint - the movement there is in paint applied sensitively and with a purpose - made Ram decide to go the whole way, into abstract painting. Though he remembered the “still, sad music of humanity” it was not the voice of man in distress which concerned him now. Sometimes it was “the heavy and the weary weight of all this unintelligible world” which created the mood; sometimes it was the lyricism inherent in nature which determined the tones of his painting and functioned as illumination. Ram seemed to have understood what Wordsworth said: “Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.”" (Richard Bartholomew reprinted in Ram Kumar A Journey Within, New Delhi, 1996, pp. 30-31)
