I have always wondered on the sketches of the great cartoonist of India
Mario Miranda and he is no more today.
His sketches though looked very simple have put me in good spirit. Some
of the great works of this cartoonist are made available for the view
of my blog readers.
85 years old Mario Miranda is no more today.
Mario Miranda (or Mario de Miranda) (1926 – 11 December 2011) was an Indian cartoonist based in Loutolim in the Indian state of Goa. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 2002, and Padma Shri in 1988.
Miranda had been a regular with The Times of India and other newspapers in Mumbai, including The Economic Times, though he got his popularity with his works published in The Illustrated Weekly of India.
In a 1999 "slide show" on the work of Mario Miranda, the site says: "Nobody is better equipped to capture vignettes of Goan life than Mario Miranda."
Goa-based editor Manohar Shetty has praised the prominent cartoonist for "his eye for detail, his skills as a draughts-man, and the total absence of malice."
