A kaleidoscopic view of Pakistani art and architecture, from the 1940s to the present

Published with Qatar Museums.

Originating in Arabic, the word manzar in Urdu can be translated as a scene, a view, a landscape or a perspective, highlighting the extraordinary vitality of the diverse art scenes in Pakistan and its diasporas. This volume presents the enormously diverse output of the painters, photographers, architects and others who have defined Pakistan's culture over the past 80 years. Featuring approximately 200 paintings, drawings, photographs, videos, sculptures, installations, tapestries and miniatures, the catalog also offers essays by important art and architecture historians, educators, artists and architects from Pakistan. This groundbreaking gathering traces how artists and architects have forged diverse personal and political languages, in dialogue with regional styles and international art and world histories. The interconnections of scenes, individuals and communities in the subcontinent and on a global scale are testament to the strength of art in withstanding imposed divisions.
