Nja Mahdaoui (Tunisian, b. 1937). Ink on paper abstract calligraphy painting. Signed along the lower right. Further signed along the verso and inscribed "52. Av. Liberte. La Narsa. Exposition, Ecole [illegible] Dec. 1981."

Described as a "choreographer of letters," Mahdaoui has also been credited as an inventor of abstract calligraphy as his designs resemble Arabic letters but lack literal meaning. He has also been associated with the Hurufiyah art movement.

Sight; height: 27 in x width: 19 in. Framed; height: 28 in x width: 20 in.
