  • Samina Iqbal Art History Department Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia
    Samina Iqbal Art History Department Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia AIPS Short Term Fellowship Report Grant Period: August 3rd – October 3rd, 2014 Location: Lahore and Islamabad The AIPS short-term fellowship grant enabled me to travel to Pakistan for two months this summer and conduct my dissertation research, which focuses on the Modern Art of Pakistan. More specifically, my research examines the modern trends in Pakistani art beginning in 1947 and the pivotal role of the five founding artists of Lahore Art Circle (LAC) in constructing modernist sensibilities and secular trends in Pakistani art from 1950-1957. LAC, founded in 1952 included artists: Ahmed Pervaiz (1926-1979), Ali Imam (1924-2002), Anwar Jalal Shemza (1928 -1985), Moyene Najmi (1926-1997), and Sheikh Safdar (1924-1983). Since my focus is on the first decade of Pakistani modern art after its independence, it is incredibly difficult to locate any archival material on this era especially in the field of Fine Arts. Locating the actual works of LAC artists, which are mostly in private collections, is the challenging task that I set for myself for the two-month research in Pakistan. I arrived in Lahore, intending to look at a few libraries for archival material and a few museums for actual works of arts. However, this research trip turned out to be extremely productive in finding and locating much more than I anticipated. I divided my research into three parts: a. I conducted a number of semiformal and informal interviews with art critics, friends and immediate family members of LAC artists. This included renowned writers such as Intizar Husain, Kishwar Naheed, Salima Hashmi, Nazish Attaullah, Quddus Mirza, Attiya Najmi, Shahnaz Imam, Anwar Saeed, Dr.

    Transcript of an audio interview with Professor Salima Hashmi (SH) conducted by AAA project researcher Samina Iqbal (SI) on 23 May 2017 at Hashmi’s residence in Lahore, Pakistan. 23 May 2017, Part 1 SI: Mrs Hashmi, we'll start part 2 for this interview. The last interview we finished where you were talking about Faiz Ahmad Faiz in the jail for first four years from 1951 to 1955. And then he was again arrested in 1958 and spent five years—five months, sorry—in the jail. And then he came out and so we are close to 1959. SH: 1959…haan (yes). That's when he joined the Arts Council. SI: Okay. So if you can tell us about his joining of the Arts Council and what did you see at that time. You were probably then… SH: By that time I was in my second year of college, Lahore College, and then I went to NCA. So it was that period. Sponenberg was the principal of NCA. I had done Fine Arts for two years at Lahore College. My parents were very keen that I go to NCA which was a new place; newly organised; not very many students—certainly not any girls. I was only the second batch that had girls and there were just four of us. And there were two girls in the previous year. SI: It was still not college at that time? SH: Yes it was. It had become the National College of Arts in 1960. SI: 1960, okay. SH: Or was it earlier? SI: I think it was… SH: 1958 or 1959…yes, probably 1958.

Not only are their careers mentally grueling and physically demanding but they also have an added risk of high investment and low returns. The rock genre has struggled to achieve its righteous place in the country whereas folk, qawalli, pop, bhangra and Bollywood music experienced skyrocketing popularity.
