The "Compulsive Act" offers a compelling glimpse into the psyche and artistic brilliance of one of India’s most celebrated contemporary artists. This book acts as one of the important publications in Jogen Chowdhury’s career as it contains his forte of line drawings from his early days as an Artist. Small ordinary and even banal visuals of everyday life and natural surroundings find their ways effortlessly to his six decades long practice of intimate drawings. Till date he continues to draw ceaselessly and compulsively at any time. The restive edgy quality of lines in most of his drawings are partly intuitive as much as they are about the authenticity of nature and sensuality of life.
