Sadequain (1930 – 1987) was a Pakistani artist who made over 15,000 murals, paintings, drawings, calligraphies, and book illustrations in his life. He also wrote poetry. He lived in Pakistan for the most part, but also travelled to Europe, and held exhibitions in France. At one point, he was compared to Picasso by the French media.
It is unfortunate how a lot of his work has been lost, or is in private collections. The Sadequain Foundation is dedicated to not only locate and restore his art work, but also publishes books on him.
Has anyone heard of Sadequain? What are your thoughts on his work?
