This book is the first of its kind about Sadequain’s calligraphic masterpieces. It captures the circumstances of the epiphany that lead Sadequain on the holy grail of reinventing the traditional art form that in turn transformed him into a legend and larger than life figure.
The book takes the reader to Sadequain’s studio, where he painted, composed poetry, and entertained his fans, before embarking on the most ambitious art exhibition tour of over one dozen foreign countries. Stroll with Sadequain in his exhibition where he obliged hundreds of visitors with quick sketches and extempore poetry, join him in his meeting with Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, or read about the bomb blast in his exhibition in Lahore, and Sadequain’s response to the obstructionists through his sharp quatrains and their English translation.
