Calligraphies of the Desert

by Hassan Massoudy, Hassan Massoudy (Illustrator)

Overview

Celebrated calligrapher Hassan Massoudy carries the desert within him. Through majestic, sweeping strokes, he depicts its breath-taking beauty and wonder. Massoudy draws inspiration from the words and wisdom of some of our greatest poets and writers - Rumi, Paul Bowles, Goethe, Baudelaire, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Khalil Gibran - who have lost themselves in the mysteries of the desert. Speaking to the senses, Calligraphies of the Desert is a treasure for travellers, poets and dreamers.
