Iraqi Modernism

On 7 October Bonhams takes its second dip into Iraqi Modernism with A Century of Iraqi Art Part II. Shown is Jewad Selim's Figure of a Girl (pre-1961). It looks as though he could have done with a live model. Still, it's better than Shakir Hassan Al-Said’s lurid cubist Cockerel, which makes Picasso look good (CLICK).
