Kahlil al-Zahawi's Calligraphy
Anne Batten (5 points) | Thu, 2007-05-31 01:49The Society for Calligraphy in Los Angeles (www.societyforcalligraphy.com/) is deeply saddened by the murder of Khalil al-Zahawi. We would like to post a memorial of his work and teaching for our members.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to find images of his lettering or information about the classes he taught, and Ivan Raszl may well have explained why in the Arabic calligraphy article, posted on the 11th.
However, Istanbul has an active Arabic lettering arts community, and the Calligraphy museum, near Sabanci University, has exquisite sacred texts on public display. (Beyazit Tower, which is located in the courtyard of Istanbul University.)
Any chance someone can suggest a resource for images of Kahlil al-Zahawi's professional or educational work?
Respectfully,
Anne
