Description:

The collected artist's books of a pioneering Iraqi painter

Inspired by illustrated Islamic manuscripts and modern book art, Iraqi artist Dia al-Azzawi's (born 1939) love of literature informs all aspects of his practice. This volume gathers his artists books from the 1960s to today, a little-known body of work, publishing them in full for the first time.
