Artist Gulgee, his wife murdered
Updated at Wednesday, December 19, 2007 1715 PST
KARACHI: Renowned artist Ismail Gulgee, his wife Zarine along with their maid were found dead here at their residence on Wednesday.
The initial investigations reveal that they were killed about two to three days ago.
Ismail Gulgee was an award-winning, world famous Pakistani artist who was born in Peshawar on October 25, 1926. A qualified engineer from the U.S, he was a self-taught abstract and portrait painter.
From about 1960, Guljee was noted as an abstract painter influenced by the tradition of Islamic calligraphy and by the American “action painting”.
The first exhibition of his art-work was held in 1950.
The legendary Ismail Gulgee was entirely self-taught, and was renowned as a portrait painter in his early career. One of his most famous early works was the portrait of Afghanistan’s Shah Zahir Shah painted in 1957.
He also had the honour of making portraits of Prince Karim Agha Khan, former princess of Iran, Deeba and former president of Pakistan, Ayub Khan.
Transcending simple canvas and paint formulae, Gulgee was known for using mixed materials in his art and was a sculptor of exceptional skill, a legacy that lives on in his son Amin Gulgee.
