About

"Waddah al-Yaman 1" is among the works of Dia Al Azzawi that were influenced by the 7th-century poet Waddah Al-Yaman. According to legend, Waddah was buried alive due to his romantic connection with the caliph's spouse. The piece centers around the relationship between Waddah and his beloved and ponders the poet's unexplained disappearance. The work is not only a depiction of a poetic love affair but a thought-provoking examination of the struggles faced by those who are oppressed.

Signed and dated 1972. The verso is signed, dated, and titled "A drawing dedicated to Love (Waddah al-Yaman)"
