Impressive Original Oil on Canvas by Iraqi Artist Farooq Hassan (1939 -)
We have for sale this impressive and rare oil on canvas impressionist depiction of bulls by the Iraqi artist Farooq Hassan (1937-). The picture is signed to the lower left hand corner and dated 1977. Farooq Hassan was born in Basrah, Iraq in 1939. He graduated from the Fine Arts Institute of Baghdad in 1960 and from the Fine Arts Academy of Rome in 1980. Over the course of 50 years, Farooq built a standing as a national and internationally renowned Iraqi artist whose work featured in galleries in London, Amman, Basrah and Baghdad. By the late 1980s he was regarded as a national treasure and his designs have graced more than 80 Iraqi stamps. His life changed in 2003 when hostile forces looted and stripped Baghdads National Art Museum. Hassan lost 10 of his large paintings on display there. Against a soundtrack of bombs and gunfire, life in Iraq was uncertain. Whenever he left home, recalls Hassan, I [would] always say to my wife, Goodbye. Maybe I will return alive. Maybe I will not. He fled the war in 2010, leaving behind a lifetime of artwork and fame. He has since rebuilt his art career in the US. The image itself measures roughly 23.5 x 18.5 inches while the framed piece measures roughly 28 x 23 inches. This piece is in very good condition and is ready to hang. The colours still look very bright and there are just a few minor marks which may have been made by the artist.
