New book by a master Iraqi calligrapher, considered to be the greatest living calligrapher, his work has influenced a generation of artists and is included in the permanent collections of the British Museum. A full colour gift book featuring 70 colour calligraphies inspired by proverbs and poems on the desert.

Celebrated master calligrapher Hassan Massoudy carries the desert within him. Through majestic, sweeping strokes, he depicts its breath-taking beauty and wonder. Massoudy draws inspiration from the words and wisdom of some of our greatest poets and writers - Rumi, Paul Bowles, Goethe, Baudelaire, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Khalil Gibran - who have lost themselves in the mysteries of the desert. Beautifully illustrated, Calligraphies of the Desert offers inspiration for meditation. Speaking to the senses, it is a treasure for travellers, poets and dreamers.

Hassan Massoudy is an Iraqi artist considered to be the greatest living calligrapher. His work has influenced a generation of calligraphers and was exhibited and used as the primary promotional image for the British Museum's 2006 exhibition, Word Into Art: Artists of the Modern Middle East. His work has been exhibited throughout Europe and the Middle East and is in the permanent collections of the British Museum and the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts, among others. Nineteen books of his calligraphy have been published in France, where he lives. His works in the English language include Calligraphies of Love and The Calligrapher's Garden.
