      Est: £500 - £800

      ⊕ NADIRA AZZOUZ (IRAQI 1927-2020) LADY WITH MAID signed in Arabic Nadira lower left oil on paper 47.5 x 33cm; 18 3/4 x 13in 81 x 66cm; 32 x 30in (framed) Property from a Private Collection, UK Executed in 1987. Provenance Acquired from the artist by the present owner Sold with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Family Nadira Azzouz started painting from the age of six, later studying art at the School of Domestic Fine Arts in Baghdad and the Central School of Art in London. Akin to most Iraqi artists of her generation who similarly studied overseas, her work is informed by the canon of twentieth-century international art while simultaneously displaying its own distinctive, Iraqi identity as found in Sumerian and Assyrian sculptures, medieval Arab manuscript illumination and the folk motifs of handicrafts and rugs. Her works can be found in the collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah, as well as prominent private international collections. PULL QUOTE: There is something peculiarly feminine … in [Azzouz's) choice of colour and composition, explicable perhaps in the context of an Iraqi woman’s passions. Things akin to burning coals suddenly glow and let off sparks through a brazier full of ashes. - Jabra Ibrahim Jabra

      Est: £900 - £1,200

      ⊕ NADIRA AZZOUZ (IRAQI 1927-2020) IN DISCUSSION signed in Arabic Nadira lower left mixed media on canvas 76 x 50.5cm; 30 x 20in 88 x 62cm; 34 3/4 x 24 1/2in (framed) Painted in 2011 Sold with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Family Property from a Private Collection, UK Provenance By descent from the artist to the present owner Born in Mosul, Nadira Azzouz studied fine art at the School of Domestic Fine Arts in Baghdad from 1944-49, and at the Central School of Art in London from 1957-60, where she gained a BA in Painting. In 1960 Azzouz staged her first solo show in Baghdad, and became an active member of the Society of Iraqi Plastic Arts. Azzouz actively progressed her artistic training by studying still life and freehand in Cambridge, before moving to Beirut to raise her children. Like many Iraqi artists of her generation who had studied abroad, often in the West, Azzouz’s artistic practice was informed by the canon of 20th century international modernism. Concurrently, Azzouz’s oeuvre carries a distinctively Iraqi identity, as seen in the influence of ancient Iraqi sculptural forms, as well as medieval Arab illuminated manuscripts and the folklorish motifs of handicrafts, rugs and textiles of her homeland.

This was followed with further studies at the Central School of Art in London (1957-60) where she achieved a BA in Painting. Like most Iraqi artists of her generation who had similarly studied abroad, her work is informed by the canon of 20th century international art yet at the same time displays its own distinctive, Iraqi, identity as found in Sumerian and Assyrian sculptures, medieval Arab manuscript illumination and the folk motifs of handicrafts and rugs, as well as local popular themes. What sets Nadira apart from her artistic peers, however, is the femininity of touch in her work. The Iraqi novelist, critic and artist, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra, wrote in 1983, ‘There is something peculiarly feminine … in her choice of colour and composition as well, explicable perhaps in the context of an Iraqi woman’s passions. Things akin to burning coals suddenly glow and let off sparks through a brazier full of ashes’. ‘For her, painting has often been a communication with inner visions, inner eruptions to which no figure or word could do justice, hence her emphasis and resourceful play on colour. In her recent work one can see her striving after a more lyrical, more diaphanous effect, suggestive of technical mastery’. Her works can be found in the collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah, as well as prominent private international collections.
