Title not known (Hassan Al Said 4)

Stylized scene with man standing atop a horizontal figure

In this work, by Shakir Hassan Al Said, the main focus appears to be on color and line as the composition is overwhelmed with an encompassing color palette held together through the use of black outline. The figures are garmented in multicolored swatches of various patterns. All of the forms, including the structural forms in the background, are reduced in their representation to basic shapes that hint towards the real; yet do not hold detail as primary.

Shakir Hassan Al Said (1925-2004)

Location: Currently unknown. Possibly from the collection of the Iraqi Museum of Modern Art (the former Saddam Center for the Arts)

Hard copies purchased from the photographer of the museum in 2004.
