The drawing below is a representative sample of the drawing style of the Korwa people, a tribe from the state of Madhya Pradesh, in India. For these people, drawing seems to have been a revelation, a kind of mystical connection between image and meaning -- for at the time of this drawing, it was remarked that they spoke a language without written form.
