The year, 1952, is the heart of Nejad Devrim’s Paris decade, when the young Turkish painter, son of Fahrelnissa Zeid, exhibited with the lyrical abstractionists of the École de Paris and built pictures like this one out of the Byzantine mosaics and Islamic tilework he had grown up with. The handling is dry and quick, the planes scraped over a white ground so that the weave shows through, the contours drawn with the brush in one movement. Signed and dated on the front and again on the reverse, the canvas is unlined and unframed, as he left it.
