Dia Azzawi (Iraq, born 1939) Drawings Consecrated to Love: Waddah al-Yaman I mixed media on paper, framed signed and dated 1976, signed dated and titled "A drawing dedicated to Love (Waddah al-Yaman)" (on the verso), executed in 1976 25 x 25cm (9 13/16 x 9 13/16in). Fußnoten Provenance: Property from a private collection, Amman Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner "I did a lot of work on Waddah Al-Yaman, and in fact I had a one-man show in Beirut just on Waddah Al-Yaman. What was fascinating for me was the story of this poet, who wrote a lot of poems about some of the women he loved but also had the courage to go further, and he paid for it. It is a beautiful story in that sense. When I did the drawings, and I have a lot drawings, and some of the paintings are completely different from the drawings, they were more an illustration of the text while the paintings dealt more with aspects of life in an indirect way. In this way, in some of the work I did on Waddah al-Yaman I tried to create a suspicious sort of element in the work, in contrast to the figure, which is very obvious, very clearly about the relationship between man and woman." - Dia Al-Azzawi
