Detail of the Seascape with 3 Boats by Sadequain in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, August 2019
Seascape with Three Boats
20th century
Object Details
Artist: Sadequain (Pakistani [born India], Amroha 1930–1987 Karachi)
Title: Seascape with Three Boats
Date: 20th century
Geography: Made in Pakistan
Medium: Oil on wood
Dimensions: Painting:
H. 22 1/2 in. (57.2 cm)
W. 32 in. (81.3 cm)
With Frame:
H. 30 1/2 in. (77.5 cm)
W. 39 3/4 in. (101 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Gift of the Government of Pakistan, 1980
Accession Number: 2016.12
This calligraphic painting represents just one aspect of the Pakistani artist Sadequain's oeuvre. He was from a family of scribes and had trained in calligraphy in his youth, but started his career with oil paintings and murals. His works depicting Cubist-like figures, seascapes, and landscapes, which often tackled moral and political issues, gained him local fame and state patronage in the 1950s. In 1961, he won recognition at the Paris Biennal and throughout the decade exhibited in the United States and Europe. But calligraphy remained an interest and he came to focus on this genre during the 1970s, when many modern artists of the Islamic world were returning to this traditional form of art.
In this painting, Sadequain has arranged the inscription on a series of boats which, in the Qur'an, often symbolize safety and security. The inscription reads: "In the name of the memorable Qur'an. In the name of the glorious Qur'an. In the name of the pen [and anything it writes]." The letters in the front of each boat, sad, qaf, and nun, may refer to the appearance of individual letters at the beginning of some suras of the Qur'an, and playfully, perhaps, allude to the artist's own name.
