Beschreibung:
Hassan Massoudy was born in 1944 in Najaf, southern Iraq. He moved to Baghdad in 1961, where he learnt the various classical styles of calligraphy, and studied graphic design and fine arts. He then studied at L'École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, where he was further influenced by the art of Leger, Matisse, Soulages and Picasso. Massoudy's work has been exhibited throughout Europe and the Middle East, and is in the permanent collections of the British Museum in London and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts, among others. His other publications in English include The Calligrapher's Garden.
Inspired by love poems from the Arab and Muslim world, Hassan Massoudys elegant, swirling compositions capture in calligraphy what countless poets have wrought with words. Through broad strokes and vibrant colours, the artist conveys the essence and meaning of love in all its beauty. A fusion of the present and past, oriental and occidental, Calligraphies of Love is a unique gift book illustrated by one of the greatest calligraphers of our time.
