Daily Times Report

LAHORE: The last of the bohemian paintings by the late Bashir Mirza were put on display at the Ejaz Art Gallery to highlight the noted artist’s work and life on Saturday. The paintings were not the original ones, instead, they were the digital prints of the original paintings.

Appreciation: The viewers praised the drawings by the artist. Noted artist Saeed Akhter talked about the work and personality of Mirza. He said that seeing the work of Mirza reminded one of expertise in art. He talked about the concentration and the passion with which Mirza worked.

Views: Asad Hayee, a curator and artist, said that the work was rich in art and beautiful to look at. He said that it could have been better if the real paintings of the artists were shown, as most of the young artists had not seen the true works of Mirza.

Anum, a viewer, said that she had liked the work because of its maturity and profundity. She said that the work was a prime example from which the junior artists could learn and use it to their advantage to improve their skills. She said that such exhibitions should be organised regularly.
