Tribute: In Memoriam, TFT, 2012
The Friday Times, 02-08 March, 2012 by Saram Bokhari
In a country that has lived under the shadow of four military dictators, it is a feat to continue producing politically conscious work, when making beautiful figures or landscapes would have been the easier option. Nagori was not cut from that cloth.

Tribute: A. R. Nagori: ‘Light of World! Fire of Creativity!’
Historically there have been more poets of protest than painters. In the short-troubled history of Pakistan, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Habib Jalib, Fahmida Riaz, Ahmed Faraz, Ishrat Afreen are just some of them, in painting only one and perhaps the only one was - Abdul Rahim Nagori, or A. R. Nagori as we all knew him.

After Nagori: The man who spoke his mind and painted what he believed in…, The News International, January 23, 2011
The admiration of fellow painters, critics and followers aside, Abdur Rahim Nagori represented a minority in our art world. He was a lone crusader. His position and stance of an outspoken individual, an uncompromising person and untiring professional was admired by many who were not inclined to share it with him.

In memoriam: The voice of conscience Abdul Rahim Nagori, 1938 – 2011, Daily Dawn Newspaper, January 23, 2011
Undoubtedly the country’s most outspoken radical political artist, Abdul Rahim Nagori’s paintings were never intended to please or to decorate the walls, yet the beauty of sensual textures and adept simplification of form were an inherent factor in his work, as were his uncompromising statements, rich with meanings. His exhibition mounted at the Indus Gallery, Karachi, in the ’80s when his scheduled exhibition in Islamabad was cancelled, made history.
