“The narrative is so strong in Laxma Goud’s works that a viewer could take their medium for granted. In his case, the lines and shadings are not the message, but these are so fine, so intricate, so meticulous, so skillfully executed that it is the second thing one sees in his work - and it is clear that for the artist, these lines are as important as the subject.” Susan S. Bean rpt. in Timeless Visions: Contemporary Art of India - From the Chester and Davida Herwitz Collection. Salem, Massachusetts: Peabody Essex Museum, 1999. p.23. (0883891131)
