Lot Essay

'As hard as I tried, I could not feel any emotional link to the Swiss landscape they asked me to paint. All that beautiful landscape was just a colour postcard to me. The truth is, I can only paint the earthy landscapes of this land which is my own. I'm in love with this earth, this dust which I got to know on my trips to the desert'.
(Parviz Kalantari quoted in 2008).
