The eldest son of a prominent family living in the foothills of the Himalayas, Jamali experienced the horrors of war through the Indian Partition, which led him to pursue a life of peace through art on a prolific scale producing more than 40,000 original works to date. The complex surfaces and mystical imagery found in Jamali's paintings have been compared to the neo-expressionists Anselm Kiefer and Georg Baselitz. His gestural techniques link him to Jackson Pollock and the New York School. But the pre-eminent art critic Donald Kuspit observed that Jamali's singular method required its own name--Mystical Expressionism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne hundred artworks individually selected by the artist accompany the engaging text in a separate section beautifully printed on a specially coated paper. Inspired by people such as Gandhi who advocated change through non-violent measures, Jamali hopes to change our lives by sharing his story of art and peace. ","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43383554146559,"sku":"9780847866199","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780847866199_s600x595.jpg?v=1775599308","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780847866199","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
