Sayed Haider RAZA (Born in 1922)
Untitled, 1965 Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower left. Countersigned on the back. Bears the reference P636"65 on the back. H: 73 cm W: 54 cm On the artistic scene, Raza occupies an exceptional place; through his childhood, his first artistic training, his vast culture [...] he belongs to his country of origin. Through his ties of forty years of life spent in France, he is from France, from the so-called “Paris” school, which has been able to integrate artists from all walks of life on the planet. [...] Little by little, over the years, there has become clearer, not a sacred "imagery", such as abstract diagrams of forces or visual meditation supports, but a plastic work in its own right. Bindu, the Great Black Dot, is indeed that from which the genesis of creation is born, first light, then shapes and colors, but also vibrations, energy, sound, space, time." Pierre Gaudibert, former director of the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris and the Museum of African and Oceanian Arts
