He educated himself by following the guidance of the urge that comes from within, working with indefatigable energy and gathering the full harvest of his labours in powerful hands...Devi Prasad’s genius is versatile. His self-expression was not confined to sculpturing only. He was an athlete, musician, painter, sculptor. Later on, he extended his excursions into the field of literature... MOdern Indian art has found a true and vigorous exponent in Roy Choudhury. I would like to point out here that his works bear the genuine stamp of originality. No signs of lame imitation are discernible in them. They represent the self-expression of a creative mind which combines the heritage of the past with modern influences in a harmonious blending. Among modern Indian artists Devi Prosad stands unsurpassed in strength and force of expression which accentuate his consummate technical skill.” [Hironmoy Roy Choudhury, rpt. in Rao, P.R. Ramachandra [1943]. Choudhury & His Art. Bombay: New Book Company; pp.57-58.]
