'The mass of the water surges from the crest, down into the trough and up again. The terror of seeing a whirlpool underlies the beauty of the print... the pattern of surface textures enhances the delightful response of experiencing nature directly.'
(G. von Groschwitz, 'The Prints of Krishna Reddy', Exhibition catalogue, Krishna Reddy: A Retrospective, Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York, 1981, p. 29)
