“Kaaba Picture as a Misprint”

By Hamra Abbas

 

There is an aesthetic thread that connects the six intimate works of art that compose the portfolio; however, there can be no doubt that there is, additionally, a tremendous range within them. Two works that ably demonstrate this are Abbas’s hard-edge, graphic, “Kaaba Picture as a Misprint” and Poons’s very lyrical “Paw Up.” The latter is based on a drawing of the same name, and the print masterly produces a wide array of marks and gestures that could be a combination of aquarelle, markers, and pens. Barth’s contribution compliments Poons’s, and the colorful and powdery surface of Calame’s work is both similar to, and divergent from, the grisaille abstraction in Kallat’s enigmatic central image.
