Brief Description
Abdulrahim Appabhai Almelkar was born in Ahemdabad, Gujarat. He studied
art at Sir J.J School of Arts, Mumbai. His sketches are record of his
stay and visit to places, as animate, narrative and methodological
instances occurred with him. In Almelkar's words, "My mother was busy
embroidering all through her pregnancy and I probably inherited art from
her at that stage". Almelkar sketched tirelessly as he visited places
within India and abroad. Keeping in mind the fundamentals of drawing, he
did both naturalistic as well as figure studies. He imbued animal,
flower, plantations in his sketches.
