The reknowned painter, sculptorist of Pakistan found dead yesterday along with his wife and a servant in his Karachi residence. He was 81. He started painting when he was studying engineering in Columbia and Harvard Universities, USA. He was comissioned to paint a portrait of King Zahir Shah of Afghanistan. He also painted the Chinese premier Zhou Enlai, Prince Karim Agha Khan, Queen Fara Diba of Iran and President Ayub Khan of Pakistan. Then his interest grew in calligraphy and sculptors, and introduced inovative ideas. He made sculptors of bronze, marble and other precious stones.
A deep sigh is all I can react to this.
