Afghanistan Art
Afghanistan Art is alive in Afghanistan! I began to learn about Afghan art when I met one of the most amazing Afghan men, M.Karim on that sunny day in 2008 when I stopped in at Karim's gallery on Chicken Street in Kabul.I have been amazed at the wonderful Afghan artists I've been honored to meet, interview, and tour their homes and art studios. I'd like to introduce you to them below, and explain more about them here. Read their bios and take a look at their art... I'll be posting their art and making prints available soon. Read about the 89-year-old art story of modern Afghanistan. I wrote down what the Afghan masters had to say at a special gathering in my home of some of the top Afghan artists in Afghanistan late summer, 2009. There are many different art initiatives highlighting the desires of Afghan people to express themselves through painting, photography, sculpture, writing, and art expos. If you know of art initiatives not listed here, please let me know through the form below. Art Books
