Osian's Auction Catalogue The Masterpieces Series | March 2010

109 The Masterpieces SerieS Sadequain has been an abstractionist, a social critic, an emotional visionary with a parallel identity as a painter. Articulate and calligraphic lines woven like tapestries, with muted colour bursting from the depths comprise the language of this silent artist. Largely a self-taught artist, Sadequain’s expression has taken shape through a unique personal language. This work is one of the finest examples of Sadequain’s works from the late 1970’s, linear in its characteristics, its inspiration sourced from the Ajanta murals. Verso
