ANWAR JALAL SHEMZA (1928-1985)
拍品 460 "If we look at Shemza’s use of textile, calligraphy, plant forms and language in this way, we begin to understand a new layer of importance in just what it was he was struggling for. It was not a simple juxtaposition of modernism with ‘ethnic’ form, but a more complex anthropomorphism in which the very contingencies of modernism and oriental pattern, and their allegorical potential in referring not only to themselves but to a larger cosmic order, comes into play."
I. Dadi, Anwar Jalal Shemza, London, 2015
