FOOTNOTE: Born in Mosul, Iraq, Nadira Azzouz (1927-2020) studied Fine Art at the School of Domestic Fine Arts in Baghdad from 1944-49, and at the Central School of Art in London from 1957-60, where she gained a BA in Painting. After her first solo show in Baghdad in 1960, she became an active member of the Society of Iraqi Plastic Arts, exhibiting in their shows in Iraq and internationally. She continued painting and exhibiting widely after moving to Beirut in 1970, and then to London in 1980, with her work being included in the influential ‘Arab Women Artists in the UK’ exhibition held by the Kufa Gallery in 1988. Although inspired by the many international modern art movements she experienced in the West, her work is still strongly Middle Eastern, with inspirations drawn from ancient Arab illuminated manuscripts, Arab verses, Sumerian and Assyrian architecture and art, and daily life and landscapes in her homeland.
