Description
New book by a master Iraqi calligrapher, considered to be the greatest living calligrapher, his work has influenced a generation of artists and is included in the permanent collections of the British Museum. A full colour gift book featuring 70 colour calligraphies inspired by proverbs and poems on the desert.
Celebrated master calligrapher Hassan Massoudy carries the desert within him. Through majestic, sweeping strokes, he depicts its breath-taking beauty and wonder. Massoudy draws inspiration from the words and wisdom of some of our greatest poets and writers - Rumi, Paul Bowles, Goethe, Baudelaire, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Khalil Gibran - who have lost themselves in the mysteries of the desert. Beautifully illustrated, Calligraphies of the Desert offers inspiration for meditation. Speaking to the senses, it is a treasure for travellers, poets and dreamers.
