The Saga of SADEQUAIN: Volume I – Biography

This book is an attempt to honor Sadequain’s unfulfilled desire to pen his autobiography. It synthesizes Sadequain’s life and analyzes his work, which has not been done to this extent in the past. It is a celebration of the most intriguing and innovative work of a national icon, who crossed the traditional and predefined boundaries of artistic forms, norms, subjects, objects, shades, dimensions, and every other confinement that he deemed as an obstruction. He did not work under some preplanned marketing plan, but rather allowed his destiny guide him freely toward the peaks of perfection. Compliance was not in his genes. In the process he produced with abundance some of the most magnificent collection of artwork by any measure, rich in content, diverse in nature, grand in scale, and large in numbers. The breadth and depth of Sadequain’s palette is so far reaching that it demands serious scholarship to fathom its essence.
