Exhibition on Faiz

The exhibition of paintings by Aslam Kamal at Lahore Museum concluded on June 30.

The exhibit was started on June 4 and a number of art fanciers and students from various art institutions visited the event.
Forty-two paintings by Aslam Kamal were based on Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s poetry. The event was part of Faiz’s centenary celebrations organised by Lahore Museum. The artist through his works tried to elaborate Faiz’s poetry and its various aspects. Some of Faiz’s popular poems such as `Aaj Bazar Mein Pa Bajaolan chalo’, and `Dashat-e-Tanhai’ were illustrated by the artist in his works.
The event was an interactive one as the artist throughout the show had given the opportunity to visitors especially art students to have a dialogue with him for a better understanding of his work.
On Tuesday, Mr Kamal delivered a lecture to a gathering at Lahore Museum in connection with his ongoing exhibition. In his lecture, he covered a host of aspects about Allama Iqbal and Faiz and highlighted the metaphor and simile used by them in their poetry.
