Inspired by love poems from the Arab and Muslim world, Hassan Massoudy's elegant, swirling compositions capture in calligraphy what countless poets have wrought with words. Through broad strokes and vibrant colours, the artist conveys the essence and meaning of love as captured by Rumi, Khalil Gibran, Ibn Zaydoun and Paul Eluard among others. With over one hundred colour illustrations, 'Calligraphies of Love' is a unique gift book bringing together new works by one of the greatest calligraphers of our time.
